In 2014, Bangladesh women's cricket team played a major international tournament for the first time when they participated in the 2014 Women's T20 World Cup as hosts. They have participated in every edition of the women's T20 World Cup since then.
In 2018, the Bangladesh women's cricket team created history by winning the women's Asia Cup. They also became only the second team after India to win the continental championship.
