The 2016 Ricoh Women's British Open was played 28–31 July at the Woburn Golf and Country Club in Milton Keynes, England, northwest of London. It was the 41st Women's British Open, and the 16th as a major championship on the LPGA Tour. It was the tenth Women's British Open at Woburn; the most recent was in 1999, prior to it becoming a major on the LPGA Tour. For the first time, it was held on the Marquess' Course, which opened in 2000.
Golf Channel and NBC televised the event in the United States for the first time, while BBC Sport handled the coverage in the UK, for the last time.
