The ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2022 will pit eight teams against one another. The event was initially set for early 2021, but it was forced to be postponed until March of this year due to coronavirus-related travel restrictions that made it hard for the teams to enter New Zealand.
In 1844, Canada and the United States played the world's first international cricket match. The inaugural women's World Cup event was held in 1973, and England won it.
