This section lists the current:

• 211 women's national football teams affiliated to FIFA, through their national football associations.
• 11 women's national football teams who have membership in one of FIFA's affiliated continental confederations, but are not members of FIFA.

FIFA members are eligible to enter the FIFA Women's World Cup and matches between them are recognized as official international matches. Based on their match results over the previous four-year period, the FIFA Women's World Rankings, published monthly by FIFA, compare the relative strengths of the national teams.

Some national teams that are members of a confederation but not FIFA members compete in confederation-level and subregional tournaments. These teams, however, are not allowed to participate in the World Cup.

The six confederations are:

• Asia – Asian Football Confederation (AFC)
• Africa – Confederation of African Football (CAF)
• North and Central America and the Caribbean – Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF)
• South America – South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL)
• Oceania – Oceania Football Confederation (OFC)

FIFA runs the Women's World Cup as a tournament for national teams to find the world champion. Each confederation also runs its own championship to find the best team from among its members:

• AFC – AFC Women's Asian Cup
• CAF – Women's Africa Cup of Nations
• CONCACAF – CONCACAF W Championship
• CONMEBOL – Copa América Femenina
• OFC – OFC Women's Nations Cup
