The Women's Softball European Premier Cup will be played in Saronno, Italy

The Saronno Softball Club's bid to host the Women's Softball European Premier Cup 2023 was accepted by WBSC Europe. The Women's Softball European Premier Cup is the highest level competition in WBSC Europe's portfolio for women's club fastpitch.

The tournament will take place from August 21 to 26, 2023, in Saronno, a city in Northern Italy, located 30 kilometers from the region's capital, Milan.

The Women's Softball European Premier Cup 2023 won't be the first international event hosted by Saronno Softball Club, already successful organiser of the Women's Softball Cup Winners Cup in 2021.

In November 2022, Saronno's bid was competing with the one from Joudrs Praha, Czechia. The decision between the two venues would have been taken at the WBSC Europe Congress 2023 but having bid for another event, Joudrs Praha withdrew its bid for the Women's Softball European Premier Cup.

In 2022, the Women's Softball European Premier Cup trophy was won by Olympia Haarlem (NED) on Bollate's diamond in Italy. In the same year, Saronno won the Women's Softball European Cup Winners Cup in Viladecans, Spain, the Italian national title and national cup.
