Womens World Cup

As promised in an earlier post, below is a table of the five official FIFA World Cups for women that have taken place so far:

China 1991

USA

Norway

Sweden

Germany

Sweden 1995

Norway

GermanyUSAChina

USA 1999

USA

China

Brazil

Norway

USA 2003

Germany

Sweden

USA

Canada

China 2007

Germany

Brazil

USA

Norway

As can be seen, the lot has been dominated largely by the same countries, even as hosts, not giving womens football the more interesting variations of the mens side.
The next World Cup will be hosted by Germany in 2011.
The list of top-scorer of each tournament is as such:
  • 1991: Carin Jenning, USA
  • 1995: Helge Riise, Norway
  • 1999: Sun Wen, China
  • 2003: Birgit Prinz, Germany
  • 2007: Marta, Brazil
