Women World Cup Winners List: The ICC Women's Cricket World Cup is the oldest championship in women's sports, first held in England in 1973. This tournament features matches played as One Day Internationals (ODIs), running for 50 overs, alongside the ICC Women's T20 World Cup for twenty-over cricket.
Initially managed by the International Women's Cricket Council (IWCC), it has since 2005 been organized by the International Cricket Council (ICC). The inaugural Women's World Cup occurred two years prior to the men's tournament. Early tournaments faced financial constraints limiting team participation, leading to gaps of up to six years between events. Since 2005, the tournament has taken place at regular four-year intervals. Below is the list of Women World Cup winners arranged by year.
