The ICC Women Cricket World Cup 2025 reward fund has officially been announced, and the reward fund has increased by history. The winning team will get to win a record amount of 4.48 million, which is four times higher than before. The overall payout at the tournament will be 13.88 million, larger than even the champion of the most recent Men’s World Cup, who earned just 4 million in prize money.
Distribution of prizes has been improved at all levels. The loser will receive 2.24 million dollars and the two semi-finalists will receive 1.12 million dollars respectively. Each group phase win will earn the team $34,314. Fifth and sixth place winners will receive 700,000 and 280,000 respectively and seventh and eighth place teams will get it. Also, all the teams involved are guaranteed a payout of at least 250,000.
Such a massive increase in prize money highlights the increased commercial interests and investment in women cricket across the world. It is likely to increase the number of people who are interested in sponsors, broadcasters and fans. This is evidenced by the monetary rewards that indicate the sudden professionalization of the sport and its emergence as an increasingly popular sport at the global scale.
