This summer the Ground hosted a record number of major women’s fixtures, with 21 matches played. The fixtures included three ICC T20 Women's World Cup group games and the Final, as well as the first Women’s Test match at Lord’s between England and India, which took place exactly 50 years after the first women’s international was played at Lord’s in 1976.

In the World Cup group stage, the match between Australia and India attracted 27,163 spectators, a world record attendance for an ICC Women’s T20 World Cup group match, while the World Cup Final had 28,887 supporters in attendance – the highest crowd for a women’s match in the UK.

In the red ball game, the world record for cumulative attendance at a Women's Test match was broken, as a total of 37,846 watched across the four days. These surpassed records previously held by the MCG. In addition, a new world record for a single day attendance at a Women’s Test match was also reached, when 15,243 came to a captivating Day Two, 

This significant demand for women's international cricket builds a strong foundation for the forthcoming 2027 Women's Ashes series, which will see Australia Women return for Lord's for a One-Day International against England Women.

With the 2023 Women’s Ashes T20I at Lord’s setting an attendance record of 21,610 for a home England bilateral T20I, a record that was surpassed at the Home of Cricket during the 2026 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Final, Lord’s will once again be targeting a sell-out for the upcoming Women’s Ashes fixture.
