The FIFA Women's World Cup has grown from a modest 12-team tournament in 1991 to a 32-team global spectacle in 2023, reflecting women's football's extraordinary rise. This guide provides complete statistical records for every edition of the Women's World Cup.

The United States leads with 4 titles, followed by Germany (2), and Norway, Japan, and Spain with one each. The US women's team has appeared in every final since 2011, establishing an unprecedented dynasty in women's international football. Germany's back-to-back titles (2003, 2007) remain the only consecutive wins.

Marta (Brazil) holds the all-time Women's World Cup scoring record with 17 goals across five tournaments. Birgit Prinz (Germany) scored 14, while Abby Wambach (USA) scored 14. The 2023 tournament saw Japan's Hinata Miyazawa win the Golden Boot with 5 goals.

The 2023 Women's World Cup in Australia/New Zealand attracted 1.98 million total spectators and was broadcast to over 2 billion viewers. Prize money increased from $15 million in 2019 to $152 million in 2023, a tenfold increase reflecting FIFA's commitment to growing the women's game. The 2027 tournament in Brazil is expected to further shatter attendance records.
