Nations across Australia and New Zealand hosted a grand month of celebration for the FIFA Women’s World Cup, a tournament that culminated on August 20. Across 64 matches, teams battled to claim this edition of the competition, the ninth edition in the history of women’s global football.
The first women’s World Cup did not arrive until late 1991, staged in China. The United States captured their inaugural title with two goals in the final, featuring standout performances from players like Michelle Akers, who finished as the tournament’s top scorer with 10 goals and also earned the most goals in a single campaign.
France 2019 marked the last World Cup before the current edition, with the United States securing a fourth title by defeating the Netherlands in the final after advancing past Spain in the knockout rounds.
