| Additional information |
China hosted the inaugural FIFA Women's World Cup in 1991 — officially named the "1st FIFA World Championship for Women's Football" because FIFA initially withheld the "World Cup" branding from the women's tournament. The United States won that first edition, defeating Norway 2–1 in the final held in Guangzhou. China's decision to mint commemoratives for this tournament was partly strategic: hosting rights were awarded in large part because China actively lobbied FIFA, and the numismatic program was a component of the broader promotional apparatus surrounding the bid.
