In the group stage of the women’s world cup, all four teams play in a round-robin tournament with three matches against the countries from the same group. In order to preserve fairness, the final games for each group are played at the same time. Three points are awarded for a win, one point is given for a draw and there are zero points awarded for a loss.

The two highest teams in each group will advance to the 16-team knockout round, which is a single-match elimination tournament. FIFA determines the standings in each group based on the following factors.

1. Greatest number of points in group matches
2. Highest goal differential in group matches
3. Greatest number of goals scored in group matches
4. If multiple teams are tied in factors 1-3, the following tiebreakers come into play
   • 1. Greatest number of points in head-to-head-matches among eligible teams
   • 2. Highest goal differential in head-to-head matches among eligible teams
   • 3. Greatest number of goals scored H2H among eligible teams
5. If teams still remain tied after the fourth tiebreaker, it comes down to a drawing
