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	Germany	USA	China
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
