The Women’s World Cup 2023 will take place in Australia and New Zealand this July and August. Thirty-two teams from across the globe will compete in the ninth edition of the competition, which was founded back in 1991.

This will be the first Women’s World Cup to feature 32 teams after an expansion from 24 last time around. The USA are the reigning champions following their triumph in France four years ago.

Matches at this year’s tournament will be held in five cities in Australia (Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, and Melbourne), and four in New Zealand (Wellington, Auckland, Dunedin, and Hamilton).

Who Will Win the Women's World Cup 2023?

The USA are the favorites to win the Women’s World Cup 2023 with the best online sportsbooks. The four-time champions have long been the team to beat in the women’s game and they will arrive in Australia and New Zealand later this year with the belief that they can lift the trophy.

England won the Women’s Euro 2022 at home last year and will be full of confidence heading into the World Cup. However, it will be trickier for Sarina Wiegman’s side to triumph on foreign soil than it was in front of their own fans last summer. England are the second-favorites as things stand.

Elsewhere, Germany, Spain and France look set to provide a strong challenge, while Australia will hope to benefit from the support of the locals. Sweden and the Netherlands could be dark horses.

Who Were the Women’s World Cup 2019 Winners?

The USA were the Women’s World Cup 2019 winners, lifting the trophy for a record-extending fourth time. 

They won all three of their group games, beating Thailand, Chile and Sweden, then overcame Spain, France and England to reach the final, where they dispatched the Netherlands.

The Dutch also won all three group games against Canada, Cameroon and New Zealand. They reached the final thanks to triumphs over Japan, Italy and Sweden.

How Does the Women’s World Cup Work?

The 32 teams have been divided into eight groups of four. The top two in each group will advance to the knockout phase, which begins with a round of 16.

Games in the knockout rounds are one-legged ties, with extra time and (if needed) penalty shoot-outs determining the winner if the score is level after 90 minutes.

As you will see below, there are still three places in the Women’s World Cup 2023 up for grabs, with play-offs due to be held in February.
