FIFA Women's World Cup qualification is the process a national women's association football team goes through to qualify for the FIFA Women's World Cup Finals, or, more commonly known as the FIFA Women's World Cup.
Qualifying tournaments are held within the six FIFA continental zones (Africa, Asia, North and Central America and Caribbean, South America, Oceania, Europe), and are organised by their respective confederations. For each tournament, FIFA decides beforehand the number of spots awarded to each of the continental zones, based on the relative strength of the confederations' teams. 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification commenced in 2009 and will be completed by late 2010.
The hosts of the World Cup receive an automatic berth in the finals.
