2017–18 Senior Women's One Day League

The 2017–18 Senior Women's One Day League was the 12th edition of the women's List A cricket competition in India. It took place in December 2017 in a round-robin format, with 27 teams divided into an Elite Group and a Plate Group. At the end of season the finalists from the Plate Group, Bengal and Goa, were promoted to the Elite Group, whilst Railways won the Elite Group Super League, their sixth consecutive title in this competition and 11th overall.

Competition format The 27 teams competing in the tournament were divided into the Elite Group and the Plate Group, with the 10 teams in the Elite Group further divided into Groups A and B and the 17 teams in the Plate Group into Groups A, B and C. The tournament operated on a round-robin format, with each team playing every other team in their group once. The top two sides from each Elite Group progressed to the Elite Group Super League, which was a further round-robin group, with the winner of the group being crowned Champions. The bottom side from each Elite Group was relegated to the Plate Group for the following season. Meanwhile, the top two from each Plate Group progressed to a knockout stage, with the two teams that reached the final being promoted for the following season, as well as playing off for the Plate Group title. Matches were played using a 50 over format.

The groups worked on a points system with positions with the groups being based on the total points. Points were awarded as follows:

Win: 4 points. Tie: 2 points. Loss: 0 points. No Result/Abandoned: 2 points.

If points in the final table are equal, teams are separated by most wins, then head-to-head record, then Net Run Rate.
