Four teams participated, with the hosts, England, joined by the three other European members of the International Women's Cricket Council (IWCC) – Denmark, Ireland, and the Netherlands. A round-robin format was used, with the top teams proceeding to the final. England was undefeated in the round-robin stage and beat Ireland by 65 runs in the final, winning the championship for a second consecutive time.
