Descripción
Silver colour goblet shaped cup on a round, ebonised wood base with a metal band bearing winners names from 1973. No hallmark.
The first Women’s World Cup held in 1973, two years before the Men’s competition began, was heavily reliant upon the financial support of Midlands businessman Jack Hayward.
This Georgian chalice had a previous life, possibly as a prize for an allotment competition, before it was recycled as the Jack Hayward Trophy, Women’s World Cup in 1973.
It has been presented at every Women’s World Cup between 1973 and 2005, the last tournament before the ICC took over the running of the Women’s game and introduced a new trophy.
The Women’s World Cup tournament was created by former England Women’s Captain Rachael Heyhoe-Flint (1939-2017) and Philanthropist Sir Jack Hayward (1923-2015). The tournament predated the men’s competition
that began two years later in 1975.
Heyhoe-Flint was a passionate advocator of the women’s game helping to gain media awareness and sponsorship. It was through her meetings with Hayward that he became a patron sponsoring the England women’s tour of
the West Indies in 1969-1970.
The duo became best friends and visited the silver vaults in the City of London to choose this trophy.
