Australia_at_the_FIFA_Women's_World_Cup
The Australia women's national soccer team has represented Australia at the FIFA Women's World Cup on eight occasions in 1995, 1999, 2003, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019 and 2023. Australia co-hosted the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup with New Zealand. The Matildas automatically qualified as co-host, and the Matildas (managed by Tony Gustavsson and captained by Steph Catley and Sam Kerr) finished fourth overall. It was the first time that a senior national soccer team representing Australia or another Oceanian country has made it to the World Cup semi-finals. The team also participated in the 1988 FIFA Women's Invitation Tournament, a precursor to the Women's World Cup.
For the men's team, see Australia at the FIFA World Cup.
