WPL: List of all winners in Women's Premier League history
The Women’s Premier League (WPL) witnessed its first edition in 2023.
The Women’s Premier League (WPL) is a franchise T20 tournament in India organised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The tournament, intended to develop women’s cricket in India, observed its maiden edition in 2023.
The WPL features five city-based franchise teams battling for the title. They are the Mumbai Indians (MI) Women, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) Women, Delhi Capitals (DC) Women, UP Warriorz (UPW), and Gujarat Giants (GG).
This tournament follows the same format as the Indian Premier League (IPL). Hence, each team face the other teams twice. However, unlike the IPL, there are no Qualifier 1 and Qualifier 2 games in the playoffs.
In WPL, the top team in the points table bags a direct spot in the final, while the second and third-placed teams clash in the Eliminator. The winner of the Eliminator is the second finalist. Below is the complete list of WPL winners since the maiden edition in 2023.

MI Women were the first champions of the tournament in the 2023 edition. Led by Harmanpreet Kaur, they finished second in the points table after the league stage.
In the Eliminator, they outplayed UP Warriorz like a walk in the park. After piling up a respectable total of 182/4 in the first innings, they bowled out the opposition for just 110 runs.
In the summit clash, they dominated DC Women with their bowling in the first innings, restricting them to 131/9. Issy Wong and Hayley Matthews clinched three-wicket hauls. Nat Sciver-Brunt scored an unbeaten 60 runs to propel MI Women to victory like a piece of cake by seven wickets.
