This year's women's World Cup is unique as it is being co-hosted by two countries, Australia and New Zealand. This is the first time in the tournament's history that it has been hosted by two nations. In comparison, the 2022 men's World Cup was hosted by Japan and South Korea, and the 2026 edition will be hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

While Australia and New Zealand are often associated with sunny weather, surfing, sandy beaches, and beautiful swimming spots, it's important to note that it is currently winter in the southern hemisphere. Therefore, temperatures during the tournament will be far from scorching.
