The ISF Women's World Championship is a fastpitch softball tournament for women's national teams held historically every four years, now every two years, by the International Softball Federation (ISF). The number of teams in the tournament began at five in its inaugural event in 1965, went to a high of 28 for the 1994 edition, and now the ISF Code legislates that the maximum number of teams that may participate is 16. There are qualifying tournaments that determine which countries will play at the World Championship.
