The 2026 Women's Asian Games Qualifier was the qualification tournament for the women's cricket event at the 2026 Asian Games. It was held from 26 to 31 May 2026 in Malaysia, with matches played at the Bayuemas Oval in Kuala Lumpur. The tournament served as the primary pathway to determine the final three teams advancing to the main event in Nagoya, Japan.
The qualification process determined the final eight-team lineup, with five spots filled automatically by the host nation Japan and the region's four ICC Full members. The final three teams were decided through this tournament, where six teams were split into two groups, with the top two from each group advancing to the semi-finals. The semi-final winners, along with the winner of a 3rd place play-off between the losing semi-finalists, qualified for the main tournament in Japan.
Thailand and Malaysia qualified for the main event by winning their respective semi-finals, after which China became the final team to qualify by defeating Nepal in the 3rd place play-off.
