Women's World Cup: U.S. Team Has Been Dominant
The 2023 Women’s World Cup is here in what will be the ninth edition of soccer's biggest tournament for the female players.
The USWNT is the defending Women's World Cup champion and the Americans aim to win the competition for the third time in a row.
Now, with 32 teams battling it out for the crown, we take a look at who has won the most Women’s World Cups.
Countries With the Most Women's World Cup Titles
USA (4)
After winning the first-ever Women's World Cup in 1991, the Americans have won the trophy three more times. It is also the defending champion after beating the Netherlands 2-0 in 2019.
The U.S. also defeated Japan 5-2 in the 2015 final, meaning it has won the past two World Cups. What's more, after making it to the final in 2011, the Americans have finished at least third in all eight of the Women’s World Cups so far.
Alongside the 1991, 2019 and 2015 triumphs, USA has also won the 1999 World Cup after beating China on penalties in front of a record-breaking 90,185 fans in California.

Germany (2)
As the top European nation in the women’s game, Germany was the team of the decade during the 2000s after winning both World Cups back then.
Its first triumph came in the 2003 finals when it eased out of the group stages by beating Japan, Argentina and Canada with 13 goals scored and two allowed. Germany would go on to defeat another European great in the quarterfinals, Norway, before beating the U.S., the defending champions, in the semifinals.
A victory against Sweden in the 2003 final marked arguably the most impressive win of a World Cup, as it defeated all the top nations.
Germany would also win the 2007 World Cup, and subsequently became the first nation to win the tournament consecutively.
If its 2003 success was impressive, its 2007 win was miraculous. Germany would win five of its six games and scored 21 goals on the way to winning the trophy. However, by not conceding a single goal, it remains the only team across the men's and women's game to go the entire tournament by making a shutout in every match.

Japan (1)
No doubt the biggest upset of the odds in terms of winning the Women’s World Cup is Japan’s triumph in 2011.
Although a top nation in the women’s game and ranked fourth in the world at the time, Japan was behind Brazil, USA and Germany in the FIFA Women’s World Rankings.
What made Japan’s win in 2011 such an upset, was how it beat all the other favorites. It beat the host nation and favorite to win the trophy in the quarterfinals, Germany, before going on to beat another huge nation in the semifinals, Sweden.
Japan topped off this monumental World Cup triumph with a win against USA in the final on penalties.

Norway (1)
In the early days of the Women's World Cup, Norway was the top European nation and one of the best teams on the planet. Following a defeat in the inaugural Women's World Cup final to USA, Norway won the 1995 edition by beating Germany 2-0 in the final.
Ann Kristin Aarønes was the hero for Norway in that tournament after winning the Golden Boot with six goals. Hege Riise also won the Golden Ball, while Gro Espeseth won the Silver Ball alongside Aarønes’ achievement with the Bronze Ball.
Ultimately, it was a clean sweep across the board for Norway in 1995, as it conceded just one goal throughout the tournament when it beat Denmark 3-1. Norway also netted a record-breaking 17 goals in the group stages that year.
