< User:הכובען המטורף

A total of over 1,000 goals have been scored in games at the Women's 9 final tournaments of the FIFA Women's World Cup, not counting penalties scored during shoot-outs. Since the first goal scored by Chinese player Ma Li at the 1991 FIFA Women's World Cup, almost 440 footballers have scored goals at the World Cup tournaments, of whom 50 have scored five or more.

The top 50 goalscorers have represented 12 nations, with 11 players scoring for Germany, and another 10 for United States. In total, 27 footballers came from UEFA (Europe), 11 from CONCACAF (North America), 7 from AFC (Asia) and 5 from CONMEBOL (South America).

Michelle Akers holds the record for the most goals scored in a single tournament, with 10 goals in 1991. The players that came closest were Sissi and Sun Wen in 1999, Birgit Prinz in 2003 and Marta in 2007, with 7 goals. The lowest scoring top scorer was Homare Sawa in 2011, with five goals. Across the 8 tournaments of the World Cup, 12 footballers have been credited with the most tournament goals, and no one has achieved this feat twice. These 12 top goalscorers played for 7 nations, the most (four) for United States. Another two came from Brazil and Germany.
