The women's 3,000-meter race was held at the 1980 World Athletics Championships on August 16, 1980 in De Baandert Stadium in the Dutch city of Sittard .
Unfortunately, the world championship run over 3000 meters was significantly devalued by the short-term cancellation of the strong runners from the Soviet Union and by the non-participation of the nine fastest 3000 meter runners of the 1980 season. These athletes lost the opportunity to become the first world champion at this distance or at least to achieve top positions.
The German runner Birgit Friedmann became world champion . She won ahead of the Swede Karoline Nemetz . Bronze went to the Norwegian Ingrid Christensen , who later became a very successful long distance runner .
