New Zealand will co-host the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup alongside Australia, becoming the first ever senior FIFA event in New Zealand, the first Women's World Cup to be hosted in multiple countries, and only the second World Cup tournament to do so, following the 2002 Men's FIFA World Cup. It will also be the first FIFA Women's World Cup to be held in the Southern Hemisphere, the first senior FIFA tournament to be held in the Oceania Confederation, and the first FIFA tournament to be hosted across multiple confederations (with Australia in the AFC and New Zealand in the OFC).
