2019 SheBelieves Cup

The 2019 SheBelieves Cup was the fourth edition of the SheBelieves Cup, an invitational women's soccer tournament held in the United States. Featuring national teams from Brazil, England, Japan, and hosts United States, it began on February 27 and ended on March 5, 2019.[1] Having kept the same four teams in the first three editions, 2019 was the first time that France and Germany had not taken part. They were instead replaced by Japan and Brazil, the first time teams from either the AFC or CONMEBOL had taken part.

The United States were the defending champions. England won the tournament for the first time.[2]

Format

The four invited teams played a round-robin tournament. Points awarded in the group stage followed the formula of three points for a win, one point for a draw, and zero points for a loss. A tie in points would be decided by goal differential; other tie-breakers are listed below.
