Gqeberha has been named as one of two coastal cities to host the ICC Women's T20 World Cup next February.
Cricket SA said in a statement on Monday that Benoni and Potchefstroom would host the inaugural edition of the ICC U19 Women's T20 World Cup the month before.
CSA said Newlands in Cape Town last hosted the semi-final of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in 2007, while St George's Park in Gqeberha will host its first major ICC event matches since the 2003 Men's Cricket World Cup.
"We're thrilled to announce the three cities to host the ICC Women's T20 World Cup," Tournament Director, Russell Adams said.
"The Eastern and Western Cape are prime cricket and tourist locations with great facilities and infrastructure. We have no doubt that these venues will step up to make this a memorable and uniquely African celebration of cricket for the local and international fans attending the event."
The two host cities for the first ever U19 Women's T20 World Cup are Benoni and Potchefstroom which recently hosted the U19 Men's CWC in 2020.
