FIFA Women 's World Cup hosts - wikipedia FIFA Women 's World Cup hosts Six countries have been chosen FIFA Women 's World Cup hosts in the competition 's eight editions from the inaugural tournament in 1991 until the next planned tournament in 2019. The decision to hold the first tournament in China was made by FIFA, football 's international governing body, after China hosted a prototype world championship three years earlier, the 1988 FIFA Women 's Invitation Tournament. The first Women 's World Cup was sponsored by Mars, Incorporated. With FIFA still reluctant to bestow their `` World Cup '' brand, the tournament was officially known as the 1st FIFA World Championship for Women 's Football for the M&M 's Cup. Only China and the United States have hosted the event on more than one occasion.
