ICC Women’s World Cup Winners List(1972-2025)

The Women’s Cricket World Cup 1973 was contested by seven teams with teams battling for 60 overs – not 50 – and a league table deciding the winners instead of a knock-out competition. First played in 1973, two years before the inaugural men’s World Cup, the Women's ODI Cricket World Cup is the oldest global event in the sport.

The final round-robin match was a winners-take-all affair as Enid Bakewell hit 118 for England to beat Australia by 92 runs to seal the first-ever ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup title by three points.

India hosted and made their debut in the 1978 tournament, and they were joined by Australia, England and New Zealand. The final match was again a de facto final, but this time Australia triumphed over the holders at the Lal Bahadur Shastri Stadium in Hyderabad.
