2017 ICC Women's World Cup: Apply now for ticket ballot

For the first time in over 20 years the ICC Women's World Cup is coming to England and Wales and this is your chance to be part of the event's showpiece, the Final at Lord's.

Taking place on Sunday 23 July 2017, it will see two of the best sides in the world battle it out for the right to lift the trophy at the iconic Home of Cricket. Ticket prices start at £20 for adults, £10 for students (aged between 17 and 23-years-old) and £5 for under-16s.

You have from Thursday 20 October to Tuesday 1 November to submit your application. There will then be a ballot for oversubscribed applications and successful customers will be notified during November.

The tournament, which starts on Monday 26 June, will be held across county grounds in Bristol, Derby, Leicester and Taunton. The full match schedule and ticket information will be announced in November.

Eight teams will take part in the single-league format, with each side playing each other once. The top four teams of the ICC Women's Championship, which concludes in November, will qualify automatically for the tournament.

Reigning World Champions Australia were the first team to claim a spot at next year's ICC Women's World Cup with West Indies, England, New Zealand, South Africa and India currently in the running to claim the other three spots. The final four teams will qualify from the ICC Women's World Cup Qualifier which will take place early next year.

England are currently celebrating a 3-2 ODI series win over West Indies after holding their nerve to win the fifth and decisive ODI by five wickets.
