Is there a standard definition or are we making one here?
I got this from the British 'Letts' diary manufacturer about ten years back. Clearly it makes sense, as a week is, usefully, an odd number of days long and can be assigned into either one year or the other. The big difference is on which day a week starts, which is both nationally and culturally variant.
