Women's Doubles: 6 finals (5 titles, 1 runner-up)
Note: The shared women's doubles title at the Australian Open in 1977 (December) traditionally is not counted in Goolagong's win total because the finals were never played. Otherwise, she would have 14 Grand Slam titles, 6 Grand Slam women's doubles titles, and 7 Grand Slam women's doubles finals.
