The United States is one of only two teams that have participated in every Women’s World Cup, and it has also emerged as the most successful nation in the tournament's history, with four title wins.

These victories for the United States occurred in 1991, 1999, 2015, and 2019, solidifying the country's position as a consistent contender in the tournament.

The Brazilian women's team has also produced renowned players, including the legendary Marta, and has consistently been a strong contender for the title.
