The 2025 ICC Women's Cricket World Cup is the 13th edition of Women's Cricket World Cup. It is being hosted jointly by India and Sri Lanka. [1] It is India's fourth time hosting the World Cup after the 1978, 1997 and 2013 editions, and Sri Lanka's first time hosting it. This is the last time the tournament will have eight teams. [2] Australia are the defending champions, having won their seventh title in 2022. In June 2025, the International Cricket Council announced the event will take place from 30 September to 2 November 2025. [3]

Background

Neutral venue arrangements

On 19 December 2024, following an agreement between the BCCI and PCB, the ICC confirmed that matches between India and Pakistan at ICC events in 2024–2027 will be played at neutral venues. [4]

Marketing

Before the commencement of the tournament, the ICC hosted a Trophy Tour, during which the trophy was taken to various locations across the four Indian host cities and in later to Colombo. [5] [6] The tour began on 11 August in Mumbai. ICC Chairman Jay Shah, along with former cricketers Mithali Raj and Yuvraj Singh, and Indian cricketers Harmanpreet Kaur, Smriti Mandhana, and Jemimah Rodrigues, launched the Trophy Tour at a 50-day countdown event held in Mumbai. [7]

Opening ceremony

The opening ceremony was held in Assam Cricket Association Stadium, Guwahati ahead of the tournament opener between India and Sri Lanka on 30 September. [8]

Bollywood singer Shreya Ghoshal performed the official World Cup anthem, "Bring it Home". [9]

The West Indies, semi-finalists at the preceding 2022 tournament, failed to qualify for the World Cup for the first time since 2000 and the first time in the World Cup's history as an ICC-run tournament. [10]

Venues

It was originally planned that matches would be played at five different Indian venues, [11] [12] with the BCCI prioritising cities likely to enjoy favourable weather conditions and which were efficient in terms of transport and logistics. [13]

After Pakistan's qualification, it was agreed that their matches would be played outside India at a neutral venue, [14] and in June 2025, the ICC announced the final venues in India and Sri Lanka. [3] The cities of Bengaluru, Guwahati, Indore, and Visakhapatnam in India, and Colombo in Sri Lanka, were initially announced as venues, [15] although the following month the ICC replaced Bengaluru with the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. [16]

One semi-final and the final will be played at Navi Mumbai, with the other semi-final will be played in Guwahali.
