Women's Ashes 2023: Does Australia currently hold the urn? image

An exciting month of women's cricket is about to come to a close, with just one match remaining of the 2023 Women's Ashes.

Australia got things underway with a Test match win at Trent Bridge on June 22, before England wrestled back some control in the limited-over format.

The visitors have held on though, officially retaining the Ashes after winning the second ODI.

Does Australia currently hold the urn?

Yes, Australia are the current holders of the Women's Ashes trophy, retaining the urn for 2023.

The result is a third series victory in a row for the Aussies, with England's last series win coming in 2013-14.

This year's series isn't fully complete, though, with England still able to secure a draw if they win the final ODI.
