New Zealand qualified automatically as hosts. Originally, it was announced that three more teams would qualify from the ongoing 2017–20 ICC Women's Championship,[7] but in 2018 this was changed to four teams plus the hosts.[8] The top three teams from a ten-team qualifier will also play in this edition of the Women's World Cup.[9] However, on 12 May 2020, the ICC confirmed that the qualifier tournament had been postponed, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[10] In August 2020, the ICC confirmed that the qualifier tournament would take place in 2021.[11]
