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 nine finals; England appeared in the first five, but missed out between 1993 and 2005.

Notes

  1. ^ 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.
  2. ^ 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.
