In 2010 Norway played 16 international matches to mid–November, including important qualification matches for the 2011 World Cup. Woods played in 13 of the matches, mainly as a defensive midfielder in a 4–4–2 formation, and scored five goals. She was withdrawn from the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup squad with a hip injury. She recovered quickly from the injury as she returned to play for her club Fortuna Hjørring that same summer. Woods was called up to the national team again for the next Euro qualifications in Iceland where she earned her spot in the starting lineup again.
