The 2014–16 ICC Women's Championship, featuring the top eight ranked teams in women's cricket, was the first phase of qualifying for the World Cup, with the top four teams qualifying automatically.

This featured the bottom four teams from the ICC Women's Championship and six other teams.

On 8 February 2016, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the five venues for the 2017 Women's World Cup. Lord's hosted the final, and other matches were played at the home grounds of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Somerset and Gloucestershire.

The captains of each team were announced on 21 April 2017, with the full squads named shortly after.
Match officials
The ICC announced a panel of thirteen umpires and three match referees to officiate the tournament, including four female umpires, the highest number yet for an ICC global event. The four female umpires were drawn from the ICC's International Umpires Development Panel and their male colleagues from the International Umpires Panel. Richie Richardson is a member of the Elite Match Referees Panel while Steve Bernard and David Jukes are on the Regional Match Referees Panel. Sue Redfern became the first woman to have played in a Women's Cricket World Cup and then stand in a tournament as an umpire.
Prize money
The International Cricket Council declared a total prize money pool of US$2 million for the tournament, a tenfold increase from the 2013 World Cup. The prize money was allocated according to the performance of the team as follows:
| Stage | Teams | Prize money (USD) | Total (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Winner | 1 | $660,000 | $660,000 |

| Teams that do not pass the group stage | 4 | $30,000 | $120,000 |
| Total | $2,000,000 | ||
Group stage
On 8 February 2016, it was announced that in the Group Stage, eight sides will participate in a single-league format with each side playing the other once. This format was last used in the 2005 tournament. The top four sides following the conclusion of the league matches progressed to the semi-finals with the winners meeting at Lord's on 23 July. Therefore, a total of 31 matches were played during the 28-day tournament. The full fixtures for the tournament were announced by the ICC on 8 March 2017, to coincide with International Women's Day. Ahead of the group stage fixtures there were eight practice matches, played between 19 and 22 June 2017.
Teams tied on equal points in the group stage of the tournament were decided by number of wins, followed by net run rate. If both of those were still the same, then the head-to-head match between the two sides was used to determine who progresses to the semi-finals.
