The 2023 FairBreak Invitational T20 was the second edition of the FairBreak Invitational T20, a women's Twenty20 cricket competition, which was held from 3 to 16 April 2023 at the Kowloon Cricket Club in Hong Kong. The tournament, sanctioned by the ICC, was being privately run by FairBreak Global, a company that aims to promote gender equality. A total of 90 players from 28 countries were spread across six teams.[1][2][3] The tournament was won by Warriors, who beat Falcons in the final by 94 runs.[4]

An additional tournament for 2023, staged in collaboration with USA Cricket, will be played in Houston, Texas, USA, between 15 and 30 September 2023.[5][6]
