The Algarve Cup 2019 was the 26th edition of this important tournament series for women's national soccer teams and took place from February 27th to March 6th, 2019, as in previous years, at various venues in the Algarve , the southernmost region of Portugal . As in the previous three years, record winners USA and Olympic champions Germany , England and France did not take part. The USA and England met at the same time at the fourth SheBelieves Cup . The top participants in the FIFA world rankings were Canada (5th), European champions Netherlands (7th) and Sweden (9th). For seven participants, the tournament also served as preparation for the world championship starting in June .

The winner - 21 years after the last title win - was the Norwegian national football team.

Regulations

Twelve national teams took part in the tournament, this time playing in four groups of three teams each. Since FIFA classified the games as friendlies, each team was allowed to replace six players per game, which could take place with a maximum of four game interruptions, of which a maximum of three in the second half.

For the ranking in the groups in the event of a tie, the direct comparison was initially applied, then the better goal difference from all group matches, then the higher number of goals scored in all group matches, the fair play rating, the placement in the FIFA world rankings and, if applicable, the lot. However, the last three criteria were not used.

If two equally ranked teams in different groups were tied, the better goal difference from all group matches was used for allocation to the placement matches, followed by the higher number of goals scored in all group matches, the fair play rating, the placement in the FIFA world rankings and, if applicable, the lot . Here too, the last three criteria did not have to be used.

If group matches could not have been played due to the weather conditions, they would have been made up on the following day. Group games that would have been canceled before the 60th minute due to weather conditions would have continued the following day. If group games had been abandoned after the 60th minute, they would have been rated with the result existing at the time.

If final games could not have been played due to weather conditions - as in the previous year - or had to be canceled before the end of the first half, they would have been decided by a penalty shootout in ABBA mode - provided the space conditions still allow it and both teams had agreed . Final games that should have been canceled during the half-time break or afterwards would be counted with the then existing result. Had it been a draw, there would have been a penalty shoot-out, as in the first case. If this had not been possible, the same criteria would have applied to determining the placements.
