Australia own the women’s world cup records for titles, with 7 championships in the all-time list, ahead of England on 4 and India and New Zealand on one each. India became the newest champions on 2 Nov 2025, beating South Africa by 52 runs in the final at Navi Mumbai.
This page covers the 50-over Women’s ODI World Cup. Every player and team table below draws on 102 World Cup games across 5 editions, Mar 2009 to Nov 2025, each logged ball by ball. The 2009 edition has only one match in the data, so treat it as partial. Afghanistan do not feature in the source data either.
Women's Cricket World Cup Winners List by Year
The official winners list starts in 1973, when England won the round-robin tournament. Australia then won in 1978, 1982 and 1988, England took 1993, Australia 1997, New Zealand 2000 and Australia again in 2005. Those early editions have no ball-by-ball data, so they appear only in the winners table and not in the player stats.
In the editions covered here, England beat New Zealand for the 2009 title (only one match from that event is in the data). Australia beat the West Indies by 114 runs in Mumbai in 2013. England won a close final against India by 9 runs at Lord’s in 2017. Australia beat England by 71 runs at Hagley Oval in 2022, and India won their first title in 2025.
Australia’s record across these 5 editions is the strongest: 24 wins in 27 matches, a win share of 88.9 per cent. England have 22 wins in 32 and South Africa 15 in 24.
