One team from each of four pots will be drawn into each group, the order of which was determined by FIFA's latest Women's World Rankings. Hosts New Zealand and Australia have automatically been placed in groups A and B, respectively. The draw will be conducted by two-time Women's World Cup winner Carli Lloyd. "I am excited to play a part in a draw that will bring smiles to faces in every corner of the globe." The 2023 World Cup opens on July 20 in Auckland and concludes with the final in Sydney on August 20.
