ICC announces bumper prize money pool for Women’s World Cup 2025 & it’s double the prize money of RCB’s IPL 2025 winnings

On Monday, September 1, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the prize money pool for the forthcoming Women's ODI World Cup in India, which is scheduled to take place from September 30 to November 2. 

The total prize money is USD 13.88 million, which is close to four times what the apex body gave away at the last edition of this tournament in 2022, which was played in New Zealand (USD 3.5 million).

What makes things more interesting is that this bumper prize money sum exceeds the amount set aside as prize money for the Men's ODI World Cup in 2023 - USD 10 million.

"This announcement marks a defining milestone in the journey of women's cricket. This fourfold increase in prize money is a landmark moment for women's cricket and reflects our clear commitment to its long-term growth. Our message is simple, women cricketers must know they will be treated on par with men if they choose this sport professionally,” ICC chairman Jay Shah said. 

The winner of the upcoming Women’s World Cup will receive USD 4.48 million, compared to USD 1.32 million in 2022. On the other hand, the men’s winning team in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 received USD 4 million.

The runners-up in the upcoming tournament will receive USD 2.24 million, compared to USD 600,000 in 2022. The two losing semi-finalists will each receive USD 1.12 million, compared to USD 300,000 in 2022.

For every group-stage victory, the winners will get USD 34,314. The teams that end fifth and sixth will get USD 700,000 each, while the teams finishing seventh and eighth will take home USD 280,000. Each participating team is guaranteed a sum of USD 250,000. The mega event starts on September 30.
