The ICC Women’s World Cup will be held in India in 2025
Cricket lovers have another reason to celebrate: India will host the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup in 2025. The International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced that India will host the ICC Women’s One-Day International World Cup in 2025.
The women’s event will be held in India for the fourth time. India has served as the host country on four occasions: in 1978, 1997, 2013, and currently 2025. In the host years, it finished fourth in 1978, reached the semi-finals in 1997, and finished seventh in 2013. It finished second on two occasions, in 2005 and 2017. It has yet to win the World Cup, though.
BCCI will go to great lengths to ensure that the event is memorable for everyone involved. The infrastructure is in place, and the World Cup will be a huge success. The hosts were chosen through a competitive bidding procedure reviewed by a Board sub-committee led by Martin Snedden, Clare Connor, Sourav Ganguly, and Ricky Skerritt.

“We are pleased to host the 2025 ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup, and let me tell you that BCCI will leave no stone unturned to make it a memorable event for everyone involved,” stated Mr Jay Shah, Honorary Secretary of the BCCI.
“We are taking many initiatives to improve the reputation of the sport beginning at the grassroots level, and hosting the World Cup will increase the sport’s appeal in the country even more. The BCCI has always been dedicated to women’s cricket in India. We have the infrastructure in place, and I am convinced that the World Cup will be a huge success” he added.
