England head to Australia at the start of 2025 with the goal of winning the Women’s Ashes for the first time in more than a decade. It was back in 2013-14 that England last lifted the trophy and that was also when it became a multi-format series, featuring one-day internationals, T20s and a Test match.
In a change to recent scheduling, this series will end rather than start with the Test match and it will be played at the 100,000-capacity Melbourne Cricket Ground. It will be the first women’s Test at the MCG since 1949 and the first day-night Test on the ground.
“[The Test is] an amazing opportunity for the team to play at such an iconic Australian cricket venue and in such a big occasion like an Ashes series,” said Australia all-rounder Ellyse Perry. Unlike the men’s Ashes, which is played over five Tests, the women’s series is multi-format and features one Test, three one-day internationals and three T20 matches.
Four points are awarded for winning the Test (two to each side if it is a draw) and it is two points for a white-ball win. So there are 16 points available overall. If the series is drawn, the holders – currently Australia – retain the trophy. The 2025 schedule has been criticised for squeezing seven matches into just 22 days. These are all the fixtures (start times in GMT):.
