The United States will arrive as champions in their defending series and will be aiming for their fifth title in the world.
Co-hosts Australia haven’t been past the quarter-finals. New Zealand are yet to play on the world’s most prestigious stage.
England won the title of European champions at 2022. England are an additional team worth keeping an watch over during the competition.

England 2023 Women’s World Cup schedule
After a year in which they enshrined their status in history by winning Euro 2022, the Lionesses are now looking ahead to their next finals in Australia and New Zealand.
Sarina Wiegman’s side will start their journey in mid-July and hope to continue their campaign well into August 2023.
England have two potentially tricky opponents in Group D: China are ranked 15th in the world and Denmark are three places behind them.
China were on an eight-game unbeaten run at the time of the draw, although they were thrashed 8-2 by a Netherlands side led by Wiegman at the 2020 Olympic Games.
Denmark qualified for Euro 2022 and held their own after an opening 4-0 defeat to finalists Germany, beating Finland 1-0 in their second match and losing in the 90th minute against Spain, who almost beat England in the quarterfinals.
Chelsea midfielder Pernille Harder scored the winner against Finland and will undoubtedly be of concern to Wiegman and her squad.
The playoff team should provide less demanding challenges for England. Chile are the most dangerous potential opponent, ranked 38th in the world, while Haiti are 18 places below them and Senegal are 84th.
