How Much Prize Money Will India Get After Winning The Women’s World Cup 2025? Indian women’s cricket has reached a defining moment, one that mirrors the men’s iconic 1983 World Cup victory. On Sunday at the DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai, Harmanpreet Kaur and her team created history by winning the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 on home soil.
This victory is monumental for India, not just because of the title but also for the journey that led here. After heartbreaks in the 2005 and 2017 finals, this triumph finally fulfilled a long-awaited dream. For South Africa, it was their first-ever appearance in a World Cup final, where they fought bravely but fell just short of the ultimate prize.
Along with the trophy, the champions also walked away with record-breaking prize money that reflects the tremendous growth of women’s cricket across the world.
