The inaugural edition of the Women's Decathlon World Championships was held in Geneva, Ohio, on 3 and 4 August 2024. Allison Halverson of Armenia was the first world champion, with Roseva Bidois of France and American Jordyn Bruce winning the silver and bronze medals. Halverson set the world decathlon best in the 100 metres.
The event was the first global women's decathlon championship. It was organized by Lauren Kuntz and Jordan Gray and held in conjunction with the 2024 Ico For All championships. It was "primarily funded" by women's clothing company Oiselle.
The event was purposefully held during the 2024 Olympic men's decathlon as a protest against the exclusion of the women's event at the Olympics. Nandini Agasara of India and Ashley Heffernan of the United States were also entered in the competition, but both did not start.
The women's decathlon took place over two consecutive days, with 5 events each day.
