This tournament will see the inclusion of a squad from Papua New Guinea for the first time, which will be made up of seven under-19 player and seven under-23 women.
A selection of the best players also recently took part in September's U19 Lanning vs. Perry Series that consisted of three T20s and one 40-over match across a four-day development camp.
The ten sides are split into two pools, with each team playing the four other teams in their pool over the first four days, before the top two from each pool proceed to the semi-finals.
Pool A: New South Wales Metro, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, Australian Capital Territory
Pool B: New South Wales Country, Victoria Metro, Victoria Country, Tasmania, Papua New Guinea
The first four matches across the first two days of the carnival will be 20-over fixtures, with the remaining two pool matches on Sunday and Monday, and finals, played as 50-over one-day matches.
