The prize money pool for the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 has witnessed a rise of 297 per cent from the last edition in 2022, as $13.88 million will be up for grabs in the tournament that will be taking place in India and Sri Lanka from 30 September to 2 November.

The ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2022, which was held in New Zealand, had a total prize money pool of $3.5 million. The 2025 Women’s Cricket World Cup’s prize money pool will be even higher than the last men’s World Cup in 2023, which also took place in India. The overall prize money pool for the 2023 ODI World Cup, which was won by Australia, stood at $10 million.

ICC increases Women’s Cricket World Cup prize money

The biggest prize money would obviously go to the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 winner, who is set to receive a whopping $4.48 million, a 239 per cent increase from the $1.32 million reward that the Australian women took home for winning the ICC event in 2022.

The Australian men’s team earned $4 million by winning the 2023 ODI World Cup at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

ICC, in its statement on Monday, said that the massive increase in the prize money highlights its “strategy to focus on the growth of the women’s game.”

ICC president Jay Shah said that the increased prize money shows that the global body will treat women players as equals to men’s cricketers. “This announcement marks a defining milestone in the journey of women’s cricket. This four-fold increase in prize money is a landmark moment for women’s cricket and reflects our clear commitment to its long-term growth," Shah said. “Our message is simple, women cricketers must know they will be treated on par with men if they choose this sport professionally.

“The uplift underscores our ambition to deliver a world-class ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup and to inspire the next generation of players and fans. Women’s cricket is on a remarkable upward trajectory, and with this step we are confident the momentum will accelerate. We call upon all stakeholders, fans, media, partners, and Member Boards, to join us in championing the women’s game and ensuring it receives the recognition and respect it deserves.”

The teams finishing fifth and sixth will take home $700,000 each and those in seventh and eighth place will earn $280,000. Each participating team is guaranteed $250,000.
