The latest results on W and Z cross sections from p anti-p collisions recorded by the CDF and D0 experiments at the Fermilab Tevatron collider, operating at a centre of mass energy of 1.96 TeV, are presented. These results have been used to validate (N)NLO QCD calculations, measure quark couplings, test lepton universality and constrain parton distribution functions. The width of the W boson has been obtained both directly from W events having a large transverse mass and indirectly from the ratio of W and Z cross sections. The possibility of using W events to determine the luminosity at the Tevatron and the future prospects for these measurements is also discussed.
