The 1995 Women's European Cricket Cup was an international cricket tournament held in Ireland from 18 to 22 July 1995. It was the fourth edition of the Women's European Championship, and all matches at the tournament held One Day International (ODI) status.
Four teams participated, with the hosts, Ireland, joined by the three other European members of the International Women's Cricket Council (IWCC) – Denmark, England, and the Netherlands. A round-robin format was used, with the top two teams proceeding to the final. England was undefeated in the round-robin stage and beat Ireland by seven wickets in the final, winning the championship for the fourth time in a row.Women's European Championship 1995 – CricketArchive.
