The '''1978 Women's Cricket World Cup''' was an international [[cricket]] tournament played in India from 1 to 13 January 1978. Hosted by India for the first time, it was the second edition of the [[Women's Cricket World Cup]], after the inaugural [[1973 Women's Cricket World Cup|1973 World Cup]] in England.

It was originally proposed that South Africa host the World Cup, but this was abandoned to conform with the [[Sporting boycott of South Africa during the Apartheid era|sporting boycott of the country]]. The [[Board of Control for Cricket in India|Women's Cricket Association of India]] (WCAI) then made a successful bid, and served as the primary organiser, with the [[International Women's Cricket Council]] (IWCC) providing only limited oversight.<ref>{{cite book |last=Velija|first=Philippa|date=2015|title=Women's Cricket and Global Processes: The Emergence and Development of Women's Cricket as a Global Game|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DJMMCgAAQBAJ|publisher=Palgrave Macmillan|page=99|isbn=9781137323538}}</ref> Along with [[India women's national cricket team|India]], which was making its debut, five other teams were originally invited – [[Australia women's national cricket team|Australia]], [[England women's cricket team|England]], the [[Netherlands women's national cricket team|Netherlands]], [[New Zealand women's national cricket team|New Zealand]], and the [[West Indies women's national cricket team|West Indies]].

Both Australia and England went into the last match of the tournament undefeated, which meant it functioned as a ''de facto'' final, akin to the [[Uruguay v Brazil (1950 FIFA World Cup)|Uruguay v Brazil]] match at the [[1950 FIFA World Cup|1950 Football World Cup]].<ref name="mukherjee"/> England's [[Megan Lear]] later recounted that the "most memorable part of [the] tournament was playing in front of crowds of 40,000 plus".<ref>(5 March 2009).
