The Women’s Cricket World Cup is an international cricket competition that brings together 8 of the very best women’s national teams in a battle for world supremacy.
The inaugural Women’s Cricket World Cup was held in England in 1973, 2 years before the first-ever men’s tournament. This makes the Women’s World Cup cricket’s oldest world championship. The tournament’s most successful team is Australia, with 7 wins, followed by England, with 4, and New Zealand, with 1.
Generally held once every 4 years, the next Women's Cricket World Cup will take place in India in 2025, when Australia will once again defend the title.
