Events include the Women's Rugby World Cup final as well as tennis, athletics, hockey and basketball.
Almost 1.4m people watched women's sport in the capital this year, the mayor of London has said.
Events included the Women's Rugby World Cup Final at Twickenham, which set a new world record as the most-attended women's rugby union match in history, as well as tennis, athletics, hockey, basketball and netball tournaments.
Sally Munday, CEO of UK Sport, said: "This summer has shown the UK is leading the way as a global home of women's sport and London is key to its unstoppable rise."
Sir Sadiq Khan said London had "emphatically delivered" as a "global capital for women's sport".
More than 81,000 people watched the Women's Rugby World Cup final in Twickenham, surpassing the record of 58,498 people who watched England beat France at the stadium in the 2023 Six Nations.
In June, 62,000 spectators flocked to West Kensington for the Queen's Club Championships, with women players returning to the tennis venue for the first time in more than 50 years.
This was followed by the 2025 Wimbledon Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis Club, which saw 548,770 guests come through the gates across the fortnight.
Also in July, the London Athletics Meet - the world's biggest one-day athletics event - sold out the 60,000-capacity London Stadium in Stratford, where athletes including Olympic medallists Dina Asher-Smith and Katarina Johnson-Thompson were in action.
Earlier in the month, the Netball Super League 2025 Grand Final was held at the O2 Arena for the first time.
Other events included hockey, cricket, basketball and triathlon. And although it was not a sporting fixture, a further 65,000 people gathered in central London on 29 July to watch the Women's Euros victory parade.
Sir Sadiq said: "Our capital has successfully staged some of the world's biggest sporting events including the thrilling Women's Rugby World Cup final and the historic return of women's tennis to the Queen's Club," he said.
"London has also provided the iconic backdrop for some unforgettable celebrations, including the open-top bus parade through central London for our triumphant Lionesses.
"These events shine a global spotlight on the capital and inspire young Londoners – particularly young girls – to get involved in grassroots sport."
