The England women's cricket team toured Australia during the 2013–14 season, where they successfully defended The Women's Ashes. The series was played five months after the Australian women's 2013 tour of England, and followed the men's 2013–14 Ashes series. It retained the same point format adopted for the 2013 Women's Ashes: the Ashes were decided based on a points system, taking account not only of the one Test match, but also the results of limited-overs games. Six points are awarded for a Test victory (two points to each side in the event of a draw), and two points for a victory in any of the WODIs and WT20I games.
