The 2017 Women's East Asia Cup was a Twenty20 (T20) cricket tournament, which was held in Hong Kong in September 2017.[1] The venues for the round-robin stage matches were the Hong Kong Cricket Club in Wong Nai, and the Mission Road Ground in Mong Kok. The tournament was completed with the final and third-place play-off, which were played at the Kowloon Cricket Club.[2]

The Twenty20 East Asia Cup is an annual competition featuring China, Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea that was first played in 2015 and alternates annually between a men's and women's event.[3] China were the defending women's champions, having won the inaugural edition in 2015 at the Yeonhui Cricket Ground in Incheon, South Korea.[4] South Korea had won the inaugural men's edition in 2016.[5] The matches did not have Twenty20 International status.

Hong Kong defeated Japan in a close contest in the final on 24 September 2017 to win the Women's East Asia Cup for the first time.[2]
