The England women's cricket team toured Australia in January and February 2025 to play the Australia women's cricket team in The Women's Ashes. The tour consisted of one Test match, three One Day International (ODI) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches. In March 2024, the Cricket Australia (CA) confirmed the fixtures for the series, as a part of Australia's 2024–25 home international season.
Australia had been the holders of the Ashes prior to the series and retained them after taking an unassailable 8–0 lead after their win in the 1st WT20I, before winning the series after winning the 2nd WT20I. Australia eventually won the series 16–0, winning every match.
Background The Ashes series was played in a separate season to the men's edition for the first time since the points-based system came into use. The series was held in a points system, where four points were awarded for a Test win, two points if it is drawn and two points for each win in the limited-overs matches. The four-day Test match was played as a day/night match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) to mark the 90th anniversary of the first women's Test series. It was the first-ever day/night Test match at the MCG. It was also the first women's Test played at the MCG since 1949, and the second day-night Test between Australia and England.
