ICC Women's World Cup winners: Full list of champions as India register maiden win at home

The Women's Cricket World Cup crowned a new champion on Sunday, as host India took on South Africa, even as both teams look to culminate their month-long, nine-match campaign with a maiden global championship.

India are two-time finalists in the One-Day International world championship, having lost the 2005 and 2017 titles to Australia and England. They also lost the Women's Twenty20 World Cup final to Australia in 2020.

South Africa are playing a World Cup final for the third year in a row, having reached the T20 World Cup finals in 2023 and 2024, losing to Australia and New Zealand. However, this is the first time they have reached a World Cup final in the 50-over format.
