The season, which began on 28 March and ended on 29 September, featured two global one-day competitions played in England and Wales, the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy and the 2017 Women's Cricket World Cup.

In the second season of the Women's Cricket Super League, the title was won by Western Storm, who defeated Southern Vipers in the final.
Eight international men's teams competed in the tournament, which was won by Pakistan who defeated India in the final at The Oval.
Group stage matches were played at The Oval, Edgbaston and at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff.
Three international men's sides toured England during the season: Ireland, South Africa and West Indies.
The pitch at Taunton was investigated after Wayne Noon, the ECB cricket liaison officer at the ground for the match, marked it as "below average" for excessive spin on the first two days of the match – a factor which, it was suggested, would help Somerset's strong spin attack.
[3][4] No action was taken over the pitch quality after a further inspection took place,[5][6] despite it being described as "doctored" and Somerset being called a "disgrace" by Middlesex's Chief Executive Angus Fraser.
The Royal London One-Day Cup took place between April and July, with the eighteen counties organised into two regional groups.
The final was a repeat of the previous season, but this time Western Storm beat defending champions Southern Vipers by 7 wickets.
