The women's 10 metre platform, also reported as highboard diving, was one of four diving events on the diving at the 1948 Summer Olympics programme.[1]
The competition, held on Friday 6 August, was held from both 10 and 5 metre platforms and was split into two sets of dives:
- Compulsory dives
- Divers performed four pre-chosen dives (from different categories) – a running one-and-half somersault forward with pike, straight somersault backward (5 metre), standing straight header forward, and running straight header forward (10 metre).
- Facultative dives
- Divers performed two dives of their choice (from different categories and different from the compulsory).
Fifteen divers from nine nations competed.
