ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup has been played 12 times to date, out of which 7 matches have been won by Australia, 4 by England, and 1 by New Zealand.
Yesterday, I revisited the highlights of the women’s world cup contested between Australia and England on 3rd April, where Australia won by 71 runs making it their seventh title. This led me to my research of winners of the women’s world cup.
While I was collecting the data I was surprised with the results I got so I thought to share some bits of my research with you guys as well. So let’s get started

I was flabbergasted when I found that Australia’s women’s cricket team is currently dominating the women’s world cup with seven titles to their name.
Currently, International Cricket Council (ICC) organizes the ICC Women’s World Cup, the oldest world champion in the sport.
The First Edition of the ICC Women’s World Cup Championship was played in England in 1973, two years before the first men’s Cricket World Cup was played with seven teams where England won on points.

These seven teams were England, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, an International XI, and Young England.
Until 2000, the Women’s World Cup was held at irregular intervals but from 2005 onwards it is held with a four-year gap between tournaments.
Australia is the only team to win the titles three times in a row. They won their seven titles in 1978, 1982, 1988, 1997, 2005, 2013, and 2022.
England comes the next on the list of Women’s World Cup Winners with four titles to their name. They are the only side to host and win the Women’s World Cup on three or more occasions.
New Zealand is the third and the final team to top the Women’s World Cup, Winners List. They hosted and won the match in 2000 under the leadership of Emily Drumm.
The Indian women’s cricket team made their debut as hosts of the 1978 Women’s World Cup. They have played nine matches to date, standing as runner-up in 2005 and 2017.
