The 2018 Women's County One-Day Championship was the 22nd cricket Women's County Championship season. It ran from the beginning of May to the beginning of June and saw 33 county teams and teams representing Scotland, Wales and the Netherlands compete in a series of divisions. Hampshire Women won the County Championship as winners of the top division with Yorkshire finishing runners-up. The Championship was Hampshire's first and was achieved in their first season in the top division.

Win: 10 points + bonus points.
Tie: 5 points + bonus points.
Loss: Bonus points.
Abandoned or cancelled: Match not counted to average.
Conceded: -5 points for the side conceding, 10 points for their opponent.
Bonus points are collected for batting and bowling. The bonus points for each match are retained if the match is completed.
The 2018 Championship was divided into three divisions: Division One and Division Two with eight teams each, and Division Three with 20 teams divided into five groups of four teams.
