The event was organised by the newly affiliated International Women's Bowling Board in 1969 without the British Isles as members. This resulted in a first International Tournament with just six nations taking part. Gladys Doyle won the singles which was held in a round robin format. The Pairs, Triples and Fours Gold and Taylor Trophy all went to South Africa.[2] [3][4] [5]
