The Australian women's cricket team toured England and Ireland in 2015. The matches against England were played for the Women's Ashes, which since 2013 consists of a multi-format series with points awarded for each of the matches. Two points are awarded for each Twenty20 International (T20I) or One Day International (ODI) win, and four points to the Test winner (compared with six in the previous series) or two points to each team in the event of a Test draw.[1]
The Women's Ashes were held by England before the series but, after winning two ODIs, the Test match and the second T20I, Australia regained the Ashes on 28 August 2015 with one T20I match to play. It was also the first time Australia had won the Ashes in England since 2001, after a draw in 2009 and defeats in the 2005 and 2013 series.
Australia won the ODI match series (2–1) and the sole Test match. England won the T20I match series (2–1). Overall Australia won the Ashes (10 points to 6). Australia's Ellyse Perry scored 264 runs, took 16 wickets and was named the player of the series.[2]
The ODI matches were also part of the 2014–16 ICC Women's Championship.
Apart from their games in England, Australia also defeated Ireland 3-0 in a T20I series played in Dublin.[3]
