The 2009 ICC Women's World Twenty20 competition took on a different format from that of the men's, having eight teams split into two pools followed directly by the semi-finals and final. All pool stage matches were played at the County Ground in Taunton. The women's competition was also shorter, running for 10 days as opposed to 16 for the men's tournament, however the women's semi-finals and final were held on the same days and at the same venues as those of their male counterparts. England and New Zealand contested the final at Lord's, with the host nation bowling out New Zealand for 85 thanks to Woman of the Match Katherine Brunt's opening spell of 3 for 6. Woman of the Series Claire Taylor saw England home to a comfortable six wicket victory.
