The 2000 CricInfo Women's Cricket World Cup was an international cricket tournament played in New Zealand from 29 November to 23 December 2000. It was the seventh edition of the Women's Cricket World Cup, and the second to be hosted by New Zealand, after the 1982 tournament.
The World Cup was organised by the International Women's Cricket Council (IWCC), with matches played over 50 overs. New Zealand defeated Australia by four runs in the final, winning their first and only title. India and South Africa were the losing semi-finalists, while the other four teams were England, Sri Lanka, Ireland, and the Netherlands. Two Australians, Karen Rolton and Charmaine Mason, led the tournament in runs and wickets, respectively, while another Australian, Lisa Keightley, was named player of the tournament. The tournament was sponsored by CricInfo, a cricket website, which allowed the tournament to receive ball-by-ball text commentary coverage, as well as streamed audio and video, a first for women's cricket.
The top five run-scorers are included in this table, ranked by runs scored, then by batting average, then alphabetically by surname.
