The Australia women's national soccer team has represented Australia at the FIFA Women's World Cup on eight occasions in 1995, 1999, 2003, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019 and 2023. Australia co-hosted the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup with New Zealand. The Matildas automatically qualified as co-host, and the Matildas (managed by Tony Gustavsson and captained by Steph Catley and Sam Kerr) finished fourth overall. It was the first time that a senior national soccer team representing Australia or another Oceanian country has made it to the World Cup semi-finals. The team also participated in the 1988 FIFA Women's Invitation Tournament, a precursor to the Women's World Cup.
