Canada have appeared in every Women’s World Cup event ever since they failed to qualify for the inaugural edition of the tournament in 1991.
Among their eight appearances in the Women’s World Cup, their best run was in 2003 when they reached the semi-finals but lost the bronze medal match to the United States. Under current coach Bev Priestman, the nation are the reigning champions in the Summer Olympics.
