Format and qualification
Each team will play one series against eight of the other participating teams. Each team will play four series at home and four series away, each consisting of three ODIs.
The top eight teams (the top seven ranked teams plus the host(s), will automatically qualify for the ICC Women’s World Cup 2029. The remaining three teams will take part in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2029 Qualifier.
Point System
Teams will be awarded two points for a win, one point for a tie or no result or an abandoned match, with the loser collecting no points.
In the event of teams finishing on equal points at the end of the Championship, the final event rankings will be decided in the following order of priority:
The team with the greatest number of wins
If still equal, the team with the highest net run rate in all matches played throughout the Championship
The team that has earned more points in the head-to-head matches
If still equal, the team with the highest net run rate in the head-to-head matches.
If the above does not resolve the final event rankings, tied teams will be ordered as per their original seeding as above. In a match declared as no result, run rate is not applicable.
