The '''FIFA Women's World Cup''' is an international [[association football]] competition contested by the senior [[list of women's national association football teams|women's national teams]] of the members of Fédération Internationale de Football Association ([[FIFA]]), the sport's international governing body. The competition has been held every four years and one year after the men's [[FIFA World Cup]] since 1991, when the [[1991 FIFA Women's World Cup|inaugural tournament]], then called the FIFA Women's World Championship, was held in [[China]]. Under the tournament's current format, national teams vie for the remaining 31 slots in a three-year [[FIFA Women's World Cup qualification|qualification phase]]. The host nation's team is automatically entered as the first slot. The tournament, called the ''World Cup Finals'', is contested at venues within the host nation(s) over about one month.

The nine FIFA Women's World Cup tournaments have been won by five national teams. The [[United States women's national soccer team|United States]] have won four times. The other winners are [[Germany women's national football team|Germany]], with two titles, and [[Japan women's national football team|Japan]], [[Norway women's national football team|Norway]], and [[Spain women's national football team|Spain]] with one title each.

Eight countries have hosted the Women's World Cup. China and the United States have each hosted the tournament twice, while Australia, Canada, France, Germany, New Zealand, and Sweden have each hosted it once.

The [[2023 FIFA Women's World Cup|2023 competition]] was hosted by Australia and New Zealand, making it the first edition to be held in the Southern Hemisphere, the first Women's World Cup to be hosted by two countries, as well as the first FIFA competition for either men or women to be held across two confederations.

==Format==
===Qualification===
{{main|FIFA Women's World Cup qualification}}

Qualifying tournaments are held within the six FIFA continental zones (Africa, Asia, North and Central America and Caribbean, South America, Oceania, Europe), and are organized by their respective confederations: [[Confederation of African Football]] (CAF), [[Asian Football Confederation]] (AFC), Confederation of North, Central America, and Caribbean Association Football ([[CONCACAF]]), South American Football Confederation ([[CONMEBOL]]), [[Oceania Football Confederation]] (OFC), and Union of European Football Associations ([[UEFA]]). For each tournament, FIFA decides beforehand the number of berths awarded to each of the continental zones, based on the relative strength of the confederations' teams. The hosts of the World Cup receive an automatic berth in the finals. Except for the UEFA, other confederations organize its qualification campaign throughout continental tournaments. Since the [[2015 FIFA Women's World Cup]], the number of finalists increased from 16 to 24 and now 32.<ref>{{cite web|title=World Champions: USA Wins 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup|url=http://www.ussoccer.com/stories/2015/07/05/21/19/150705-wnt-v-jpn-game-story|publisher=U.S. Soccer|access-date=27 June 2017|date=5 July 2004|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150706151332/http://www.ussoccer.com/stories/2015/07/05/21/19/150705-wnt-v-jpn-game-story|archive-date=6 July 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Final tournament===
The final tournament has featured between 12 and 32 national teams competing over about one month in the host nation(s). There are two stages: the group stage followed by the knockout stage.<ref name="FIFAformat">{{cite web | url=http://resources.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/competition/02/07/47/91/regulationsfwwccanada2015e_neutral.pdf | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141209162112/http://resources.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/competition/02/07/47/91/regulationsfwwccanada2015e_neutral.pdf | url-status=dead | archive-date=9 December 2014 | title=Regulations FIFA Women's World Cup Canada 2015 | work=FIFA.com | access-date=12 June 2015 |publisher=Fédération Internationale de Football Association }}</ref>

In the group stage, teams are drawn into groups of four teams each. Each group plays a [[round-robin tournament]], in which each team is scheduled for three matches against other teams in the same group. The last round of matches of each group is scheduled at the same time to preserve fairness among all four teams. In the 2015 24-team format, the two teams finishing first and second in each group and the four best teams among those ranked third qualified for the round of 16, also called the knockout stage. Points are used to rank the teams within a group. Since [[1994 FIFA World Cup|1994]], [[Three points for a win| Three points have been awarded for a win]], one for a draw and none for a loss (before, winners received two points).

The ranking of each team in each group is determined as follows:<ref name="FIFAformat"/>
# Greatest number of points in group matches
# Greatest goal difference in group matches
# Greatest number of goals scored in group matches
# If more than one team remains level after applying the above criteria, their ranking will be determined as follows:
## Greatest number of points in head-to-head matches among those teams
## Greatest goal difference in head-to-head matches among those teams
## Greatest number of goals scored in head-to-head matches among those teams
# If any of the teams above remain level after applying the above criteria, their ranking will be determined by the drawing of lots

The knockout stage is a [[single-elimination tournament]] in which teams play each other in one-off matches, with [[extra time]] and [[penalty shootout (association football)|penalty shootouts]] used to decide the winners if necessary. It begins with the round of 16. This is followed by the quarter-finals, semi-finals, the [[third place playoff|third-place match]] (contested by the losing semi-finalists), and the final.<ref name="FIFAformat" />

==History==
The first instance of a Women's World Cup dates back to [[1970 Women's World Cup|1970 in Italy]], with the first tournament of that name taking place in July 1970, which Denmark won.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesm/mondo-women70.html|title=Coppa del Mondo (Women) 1970|date=26 February 2015|access-date=14 May 2019|first=Erik|website=[[RSSSF]]|last=Garin|archive-date=28 July 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220728155233/https://www.rsssf.org/tablesm/mondo-women70.html|url-status=live}}</ref> This was followed by another unofficial World Cup tournament [[1971 Women's World Cup|in Mexico in 1971]], in which [[Denmark women's national football team|Denmark]] won the title after defeating [[Mexico women's national football team|Mexico]], 3–0, in the final at the [[Estadio Azteca|Azteca Stadium]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-46149887|title=Mexico 1971: When women's football hit the big time|date=7 December 2018|access-date=14 May 2019|first=Bill|last=Wilson|publisher=[[British Broadcasting Cooperation|BBC]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181207214128/https://www.bbc.com/news/business-46149887|archive-date=7 December 2018|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesm/mundo-women71.html|title=Mundial (Women) 1971|date=29 February 2004|access-date=14 May 2019|first=Eric|website=[[RSSSF]]|last=Garin|archive-date=28 July 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220728155235/https://www.rsssf.org/tablesm/mundo-women71.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2015/jun/04/womens-world-cup-unofficial-record-breaking|title=Women's World Cup: from unofficial tournaments to record-breaking event|date=5 June 2015|access-date=14 May 2019|first=Anna|last=Kessel|work=[[The Guardian]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150605044132/https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2015/jun/04/womens-world-cup-unofficial-record-breaking|archive-date=5 June 2015|url-status=live}}</ref> In the 1980s, the [[Mundialito (women)|Mundialito]] was held in Italy across four editions with both [[Italy women's national football team|Italy]] and [[England women's national football team|England]] winning two titles.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesm/mundialito-women.html|title=Mundialito (Women) 1981–1988|date=11 April 2019|access-date=14 May 2019|first=Erik|website=[[RSSSF]]|last=Garin|archive-date=3 August 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220803221248/https://www.rsssf.org/tablesm/mundialito-women.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

Several countries lifted bans on women's football in the 1970s, leading to new teams being established in many countries. After official continental women's tournaments were held [[1975 AFC Women's Championship|in Asia in 1975]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.the-afc.com/competitions/afc-womens-asian-cup/latest/news/foundation-of-asian-brilliance|title=Foundation of Asian brilliance|date=15 February 2018|access-date=21 May 2019|publisher=AFC|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190703193448/http://www.the-afc.com/competitions/afc-womens-asian-cup/latest/news/foundation-of-asian-brilliance|archive-date=3 July 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> and [[1984 European Competition for Women's Football|Europe in 1984]], [[Ellen Wille]] declared that she wanted better effort from the [[FIFA Congress]] in promoting the women's game.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/womensworldcup/news/ellen-wille-mother-norwegian-women-football-1462830|title=Ellen Wille, mother of Norwegian women's football|date=30 June 2011|access-date=21 May 2019|publisher=FIFA|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190608195632/https://www.fifa.com/womensworldcup/news/ellen-wille-mother-norwegian-women-football-1462830|archive-date=8 June 2019|url-status=dead}}</ref> This came in the form of the [[1988 FIFA Women's Invitation Tournament]] in China as a test to see if a global women's World Cup was feasible. Twelve national teams took part in the competition – four from [[UEFA]], three from [[Asian Football Confederation|AFC]], two from [[CONCACAF]], one each from [[CONMEBOL]], [[Confederation of African Football|CAF]] and [[Oceania Football Confederation|OFC]]. After the opening match of the tournament between [[China women's national football team|China]] and [[Canada women's national soccer team|Canada]] was attended by 45,000 people, the tournament was deemed a success, with crowds averaging 20,000. [[Norway women's national football team|Norway]], who was the [[1987 European Competition for Women's Football|European champions]], defeated [[Sweden women's national football team|Sweden]], 1–0, in the final, while [[Brazil women's national football team|Brazil]] clinched third place by beating [[China women's national football team|the hosts]] in a penalty shootout.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fifamuseum.com/stories/blog/a-green-and-gold-shirt-steeped-in-history-500107/|title=A green and gold shirt steeped in history|date=16 December 2015|access-date=22 May 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190629110059/http://www.fifamuseum.com/stories/blog/a-green-and-gold-shirt-steeped-in-history-500107/|archive-date=29 June 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> The competition was deemed a success and on 30 June FIFA approved the establishment of an official World Cup, which was to take place in [[1991 FIFA Women's World Cup|1991]] again in China. Again, twelve teams competed, this time culminating in the [[United States women's national soccer team|United States]] defeating Norway in the final, 2–1, with [[Michelle Akers]] scoring two goals.<ref>{{cite news |date=13 December 2018 |title=When Akers and USA got the party started |url=https://www.fifa.com/womensworldcup/news/when-akers-and-usa-got-the-party-started |work=FIFA.com |access-date=22 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181213173348/https://www.fifa.com/womensworldcup/news/when-akers-and-usa-got-the-party-started |archive-date=13 December 2018 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The [[1995 FIFA Women's World Cup|1995 edition]] in Sweden saw the experiment of a time-out concept throughout the tournament which was later tightened mid-tournament to only occur after a break in play. The time-out only appeared in the one tournament which saw it scrapped. The final of the 1995 edition saw Norway, who scored 17 goals in the group stage, defeat Germany, 2–0, to capture their only title.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/womensworldcup/news/fifa-women-world-cup-sweden-1995-501999|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190524061602/https://www.fifa.com/womensworldcup/news/fifa-women-world-cup-sweden-1995-501999|url-status=dead|archive-date=24 May 2019|title=Norway take gold in Sweden|date=22 March 2007|access-date=24 May 2019|work=FIFA.com}}</ref>
In the 1999 edition, one of the most famous moments of the tournament was American defender [[Brandi Chastain]]'s victory celebration after scoring the Cup-winning [[penalty shootout (football)|penalty kick]] against [[China women's national football team|China]]. She took off her jersey and waved it over her head (as men frequently do) as she celebrated. The 1999 final in the [[Rose Bowl (stadium)|Rose Bowl]] in [[Pasadena, California]], had an attendance of 90,185.<ref>{{cite web| title=Women's World Cup History| work=The Sports Network| url=http://www.sportsnetwork.com/default.asp?c=sportsnetwork&page=SOC-WWC/STAT/WWC-HISTORY.htm| access-date=25 March 2007}}{{dead link|date=September 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

The 1999 and [[2003 FIFA Women's World Cup|2003 Women's World Cups]] were both held in the United States; in 2003 China was supposed to host it, but the tournament was moved because of [[SARS]].<ref>{{cite news | first=Naomi | last=Koppel | title=FIFA moves Women's World Cup from China because of SARS | date=3 May 2003 | url =https://www.usatoday.com/sports/soccer/world/2003-05-03-womens-cup-sars_x.htm | work =USA Today | access-date = 27 March 2007 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090212124055/https://www.usatoday.com/sports/soccer/world/2003-05-03-womens-cup-sars_x.htm | archive-date=12 February 2009 | url-status=live }}</ref> As compensation, China retained their automatic qualification to the 2003 tournament as host nation, and was automatically chosen to host the [[2007 FIFA Women's World Cup]]. [[Germany]] hosted the [[2011 FIFA Women's World Cup]], as decided by vote in October 2007. In March 2011, FIFA awarded [[Canada]] the right to host the [[2015 FIFA Women's World Cup]]. The 2015 competition saw the field expand from 16 to 24 teams.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cbc.ca/sports/soccer/story/2011/03/03/sp-womens-world-cup.html |title=Canada gets 2015 Women's World Cup of soccer |first=John F. |last=Molinaro |work=[[Canadian Broadcasting Company|CBC Sports]] |date=3 March 2011 |access-date=9 May 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110304143611/http://www.cbc.ca/sports/soccer/story/2011/03/03/sp-womens-world-cup.html |archive-date=4 March 2011 |url-status=live }}</ref>

In the 2019 edition, which was held in France, the United States won the tournament for the fourth time.

In 2023, Australia and New Zealand hosted the FIFA Women's World Cup for the first time as joint hosts, and the number of participants was expanded from 24 to 32. It was also the first tournament to be held in the Southern Hemisphere. With [[Football Australia|Australia]] and [[New Zealand Football|New Zealand]] respectively being members of the [[Asian Football Confederation]] and [[Oceania Football Confederation]], this was the first FIFA senior competition to be hosted across two confederations. Spain won their first-ever title, defeating England 1-0 in the final. This made Spain the 2nd nation to win both the Men's and Women's World Cup, after Germany.

==Trophy==
The current trophy was designed in 1998 for the 1999 tournament, and takes the form of a spiral band, enclosing a football at the top, that aims to capture the athleticism, dynamism, and elegance of international women's football. In the 2010s, it was fitted with a cone-shaped base. Underneath the base, the name of each of the tournament's previous winners is engraved.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/marketinghighlights/canada2015/marketing-higlights/the-brand/the-official-womens-world-cup-trophy.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170319113103/http://www.fifa.com/marketinghighlights/canada2015/marketing-higlights/the-brand/the-official-womens-world-cup-trophy.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=19 March 2017|title=The Official Women's World Cup Trophy|website=www.fifa.com|access-date=2018-10-02}}</ref> The trophy is {{convert|47|cm|in|abbr=on}} tall, weighs {{convert|4.6|kg|lb|abbr=on}} and is made of sterling silver clad in 23-karat yellow and white gold, with an estimated value in 2015 of approximately $30,000. By contrast, the men's World Cup trophy is fabricated in 18-karat gold and has a precious metal value of $150,000. However, a new Winner's Trophy is constructed for each women's champion to take home, while there is only one original men's trophy which is retained by FIFA with each men's champion taking home a replica trophy.<ref>{{cite web |title=Women's World Cup Trophy Is Made of Gold-Clad Sterling Silver; Men's Version Is 18-Karat Gold |url=https://thejewelerblog.wordpress.com/2015/07/06/womens-world-cup-trophy-is-made-of-gold-glad-sterling-silver-mens-version-is-18-karat-gold/ |website=The Jeweler's Blog |access-date=13 October 2018 |date=2015-07-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181013211741/https://thejewelerblog.wordpress.com/2015/07/06/womens-world-cup-trophy-is-made-of-gold-glad-sterling-silver-mens-version-is-18-karat-gold/ |archive-date=2018-10-13 |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Best performance by confederations===
{{See also|FIFA Women's World Cup records and statistics#Results by confederation|l1=FIFA Women's World Cup performance by confederation}}

{{As of|2023}}, four of the six FIFA confederations have made it to a Women's World Cup final, the only exceptions being [[Confederation of African Football|CAF]] (Africa) and the [[Oceania Football Confederation|OFC]] (Oceania). [[CONMEBOL]] is the only confederation to have made a World Cup final without winning, following [[Brazil women's national football team|Brazil]]'s defeat in the [[2007 FIFA Women's World Cup final|2007 final]]. The farthest advancing African team was [[Nigeria women's national football team|Nigeria]], who were eliminated in the quarter-finals in 1999. Oceania has sent two teams, [[Australia women's national soccer team|Australia]] and [[New Zealand women's national football team|New Zealand]], to the World Cup, but Australia did not advance from the group stage until after [[Football Australia|the country's football association]] moved to the [[Asian Football Confederation]], and New Zealand (which remains in the OFC) has never advanced to the knockout rounds.

The United States and Norway are the only teams to have won the tournament in their confederations, with the U.S. winning in 1999 (at home) and 2015 (in Canada), and Norway in 1995 (in Sweden).
