The 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup is billed for 7 June to 7 July. The tournament will be hosted by France. The trophy will begin world tour on Sunday February 24.
In March 2015, France won the right to host
the event. It is the country's first time and the third time a European country will. Matches are planned for nine cities across France.

The World Tour of the Trophy is to bring it closer to fans and to give them the chance to touch and appreciate it.

Twenty four teams will be on parade in France including the Super Falcons of Nigeria.

The Trophy will return to France in a final celebratory stop before the tournament kicks off between hosts France and Korea Republic on 7 June.
