Most FIFA Women's World Cup titles: Who has won most trophies in tournament history?

The 2023 Women's World Cup will create a new chapter in the competition's history when the tournament finally kicks off in Australia and New Zealand on July 20.

Alongside a newly formatted 32-team competition, the staging of the tournament in Oceania for the first time has generated huge excitement across the world.

Confidence is high for another incredible tournament following the huge swell of support from the 2019 World Cup in France, and there is a growing sense of a potential shock champion being crowned Down Under.

The USWNT head into the competition as favourites and defending champions, but host nation Australia are tipped as dark horses alongside the potential threat of England following the Lioness' success at Euro 2022.

Most FIFA Women's World Cups

Since the first FIFA Women's World Cup in 1991, the competition has been dominated by a select group of national sides, with just four champions spread across North America, Europe and Asia.

The USWNT has consistently been the dominant force in women's international football, with four World Cup title wins and they are aiming for a historic three in a row in 2023.

Germany are next in behind the USA, with successive World Cup wins in 2007 and 2011, alongside single titles for Norway (1995) and Japan (2011).

Which player has won the most FIFA Women's World Cups?

With such a small pool of World Cup-winning nations, only the USWNT and Germany have produced multiple World Cup-winning players.

A total of 12 German players won the title in 2003 and 2007 whereas the USWNT have two groups of players with two World Cup winners' medals.

Five players won the 1991 and 1999 World Cups, with 11 scooping back-to-back trophies in 2015 and 2019, bringing the USWNT total up to 16 overall.

No player has won three FIFA Women's World Cups, however, USWNT quartet Alyssa Naeher, Becky Sauerbrunn, Kelley O'Hara, Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe could make history, if they win again in 2023.

Which coach has won the most FIFA Women's World Cups?

Former USWNT manager Jill Ellis is the only person to win two FIFA Women's World Cups as a head coach. 

Ellis worked within the USNWT coaching pyramid over 20 years, before moving into an ambassador role with US Soccer in 2019.

Vlatko Andonovski will be aiming to follow in her footsteps in 2023 after already winning the CONCAF Women's Championship with the USWNT in 2022.
