The 2021 Arachas Super 20 Trophy was the Twenty20 section of the seventh Women's Super Series competition that took place in Ireland from 3 May to 15 August 2021. The tournament ran alongside the 50 over Arachas Super 50 Cup.[1]

Originally the opening match of the tournament was scheduled to take place on 6 June 2021, but it was held on 3 May according to the revised fixtures of the tournament.[2] On 30 April 2021, Cricket Ireland released the revised fixtures of the series, with two teams taking part.[3][4] Although the previous editions of the tournament were competed between three teams, due to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 season featured two teams, with Arachas named as the title sponsors of the event.[5][6]

In April 2021, Cricket Ireland announced the playing squads for both teams, with Laura Delany and Gaby Lewis named as the captains for the Typhoons and the Scorchers respectively.[7] Scorchers won the tournament, winning four of the six matches.[8]
