Women’s T20 World Cup Trophy Tour announced in New Zealand
Fresh from New Zealand’s maiden ICC T20 World Cup victory in October, the nation will witness the T20 World Cup trophy tour between November 02-10, 2024.
The nine-day tour, spanning south to north, includes free public events in various cities, where fans can meet players, take photos, and see the trophy up close.
New Zealand women’s side travelled to India directly for an ODI series after their triumph in the UAE. The World Champions return to Christchurch on Friday afternoon, where a special welcome home from fans is scheduled for the team.
The trophy tour will kick off on 02 November, Saturday with members of the women's team and support staff set to make appearances in fan events in their cities.

New Zealand Cricket’s GM Marketing Communications, Stacey Geraghty, believed the trophy tour was a watershed moment for women’s cricket in the country, comparable to the World Test Championship win for the Men’s side in 2021.
“The World Cup win is without a doubt a watershed moment for women’s cricket in this country and we’re determined to make the most of it,”
“Based on the amount of excitement back here in New Zealand following the win, we’re expecting the public to get out in force to celebrate with the team, in the same way Kiwis supported the Black Caps during their ICC World Test Championship Mace tour in 2021.
