The 2021 ICC Women's T20 World Cup EAP Qualifier was a cricket tournament that was scheduled to be played in Samoa in September 2021.[1] The matches would have been played as Women's Twenty20 Internationals (WT20Is), with the top team progressing to the 2022 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier tournament.[1] The Philippines were scheduled to make their debut at an ICC women's event.[2] However, in August 2021, the International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed that the tournament had been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] As a result, Papua New Guinea qualified as the highest-ranked EAP team as of 30 November 2021.[4]
