The tournament will be held from June 26 to July 23.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIt will be the first time that the tournament will be held in England since 1993 when the hosts defeated New Zealand in the final at Lord&#39;s ground. &quot;In this country, last summer&#39;s record-breaking attendances for the Women&#39;s Ashes series showed there is a growing audience and appetite for women&#39;s cricket - we witnessed excellent crowds, including full houses at Chelmsford and Hove, coupled with growing media and commercial interest,&quot; Clare Connor, the ICC women&#39;s cricket committee&#39;s chairwoman said in a statement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Steve Elworthy, England and Wales Cricket Board&#39;s (ECB) director of events said: &quot;This is a very exciting time for the women&#39;s game in this country and staging a Women&#39;s World Cup here will really help drive interest and participation in women&#39;s cricket at every level.&quot; &quot;It&#39;s critical we use this event to reach out to young children in particular so we&#39;ve moved the tournament start date to earlier in the summer - a decision which will help our host venues encourage attendance by engaging with schools in the build-up to the event.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAccording to the format of the tournament, eight sides will participate in a single-league format with each side playing the other once. The top four sides following the conclusion of the league matches will progress to the semi-finals with the winners clashing at Lord&#39;s on 23 July. A total of 31 matches will be played during the 28-day tournament.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Agency<\/strong><br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
