India Women's Cricket Team's journey in the ODI World Cup began in 1978. They did not participate in the first edition in 1973 before playing in the second edition. India crashed out at the group stage in 1978 as well as 1982 and did not participate in 1988.
In the 1993 edition, India made a group stage exit once again before finally progressing to the semifinals in 1997, when they hosted the tournament. India made it to the semifinal in 2000, too.
In 2005, the Indian Women's Cricket Team qualified for the final of the World Cup for the first time but ultimately lost the title-decider. Their campaign ended at the Super 6s stage in 2009 before they crashed out at the group stage in 2013.
In 2017, they faced heartbreak after losing to England final, despite being really close to lifting the trophy.
Four years later, India qualified for the final once again but lost the match against England. In 2022, India made a group stage exit.
But, finally, on their home soil in 2025, they defeated South Africa in the final in Navi Mumbai to lift their maiden ICC Women's World Cup. Harmanpreet Kaur became the first Indian woman captain to lift an ICC trophy.
