The 1995 Women's European Cricket Cup was an international cricket tournament held in Ireland from 18 to 22 July 1995. It was the fourth edition of the Women's European Championship, and all matches at the tournament held One Day International (ODI) status.

Four teams participated, with the hosts, Ireland, joined by the three other European members of the International Women's Cricket Council (IWCC) – Denmark, England, and the Netherlands. A round-robin format was used, with the top two teams proceeding to the final. England was undefeated in the round-robin stage and beat Ireland by seven wickets in the final, winning the championship for the fourth time in a row.[1] Ireland's Mary-Pat Moore led the tournament in runs (and scored the only century, against Denmark), and England's Kathryn Leng was the leading wicket-taker.[2][3] All matches at the tournament were played in Dublin, with five venues being used for the seven matches played.[4]
