Japan secured third place in the World Cup with a 6-2 victory over Australia. China was surprisingly eliminated in the preliminary round.

The three starting places for UEFA were awarded at the U-17 European Women's Championship in June 2010 in Nyon, Switzerland. The two finalists Spain and Ireland as well as Germany , which defeated the Netherlands 3-0 in the third place match, are qualified for the World Cup.

In addition to hosts Trinidad and Tobago, the two finalists Canada and Mexico qualified for the World Cup from North America . The qualifying tournament was the CONCACAF U-17 championship, which was held from March 9 to 20, 2010 in San José ( Costa Rica ) in a final round with eight teams. The USA sensationally failed in the semifinals on penalties to Canada after they had finished the preliminary round with 32-0 goals.

The South American participants were determined at the U-17 South American Football Championship for women in Brazil in January / February 2010. The tournament winner was Brazil with a 7-0 final victory over Chile. Venezuela secured third place in the World Cup with a 1-0 win over Paraguay.
