Women's Cricket World Cup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Women's Cricket World Cup is a Women's one-day international cricket competition. Women's cricket was ahead of the male form of the game, with the first Women's World Cup held in England in 1973, two years before the first men's Cricket World Cup.

The eighth Women's Cricket World Cup was held in South Africa in March to April 2005, and was won by Australia for the fifth time. Australia have appeared in seven of the eight finals; England appeared in the first five, but have not made the final since 1993.

[edit] Notes

^ Note that the 1973 tournament was contested as a round robin league. The England–Australia match was the last of the tournament, and both teams had gone unbeaten thus far, so it functioned as a final.
^ As in 1973, the 1978 tournament had a round robin format, and again the England–Australia match was held last and functioned as a final.
