The team ranking in each tournament is according to FIFA. The rankings, apart from the top four positions, are not a result of direct competition between the teams; instead, teams eliminated in the same round are ranked by their full results in the tournament. In recent tournaments, FIFA has used the rankings for seedings for the final tournament draw.Seeding of national teams (PDF). Accessed 12 September 2016.
For each tournament, the number of teams in each finals tournament (in brackets) are shown.

==Competitive history==
===1991 to 2019: show for Australia and New Zealand, but without any success===
Australia and New Zealand had proven their domination when the Women's World Cup first began in 1991, but neither could have any successes. New Zealand was the first to qualify, when it debuted in the inaugural 1991 edition, but lost all three games and finished bottom. Australia then qualified for the three consecutive seasons from 1995 to 2003, but Australia could not register a single win. When Australia finally won its first game in 2007, the country was no longer part of the OFC. For New Zealand, Australia's move to the AFC allowed the country to reassert its dominance in the Oceanian region, qualified for every World Cup since 2007, but New Zealand failed to register a single win in that span of time, making New Zealand the only national team to have failed to win a World Cup game with the most appearances, having played five times before.
===2023: Hosts===
New Zealand will join former OFC member Australia to host the 2023 edition.
