1982 Women's Cricket World Cup Final
The 1982 Women's Cricket World Cup Final was a one-day cricket match between the Australia women's national cricket team and the England women's cricket team played on 7 February 1982 at Lancaster Park in Christchurch, New Zealand. It marked the culmination of the 1982 Women's Cricket World Cup, the third edition of the tournament, but was the first time a final had been held; both the previous events had been round-robin tournaments. Both Australia and England had previously won the competition; England won the inaugural tournament in 1973, while Australia won in 1978. Australia won the match by three wickets to claim their second world title.

Australia and England finished first and second in the league-stage to claim their places in the final. Australia had gone unbeaten throughout the round-robin, having won eleven of their matches and tied with England in the other. England had won seven of their matches, lost three and tied twice, and finished 14 points behind Australia and 6 ahead of New Zealand. The final was umpired by Dickie Bird and Fred Goodall. England batted first in the final, and scored slowly, particularly against Australia's spin bowling. Jan Southgate top-scored for England with 53 runs, as they made 151 for five. In response, Australia initially struggled, losing their first three wickets for 28 runs. A partnership between Karen Read and Sharon Tredrea recovered their innings, before quick scoring from Jen Jacobs and Marie Cornish saw them to victory.
