In the first Women's World Cup in 1991 she was one of the six female assistant referees that participated. She was first assistant referee in the final match between Norway and the United States.
Jonsson refereed the final match of 1995 Women's World Cup[2] and three matches in the 1996 Olympic football tournament in Atlanta (including the bronze medal match between Brazil and Norway).[3]
