New Zealand Women have officially secured direct entry into the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025. This comes after Bangladesh lost their final ODI match against West Indies in the ongoing series, which sealed New Zealand's place in the marquee event.

Australia won the Championship, topping the points table with 39 points, while India finished a close second with 37. England (32), South Africa (25), and Sri Lanka (22) are the other teams to have secured their places for the World Cup.
Bangladesh (21), West Indies (18), Pakistan (17) and Ireland (8) will be joined in the Cricket World Cup Qualifier by Scotland and Thailand, the two other highest ranked teams as of 31 October 2024.
