The 2010 AFC Women's Asian Cup was held from 19–30 May at the Chengdu Sports Center in China PR. The winners, Australia, runners-up, Korea DPR, and third-place team, Japan qualified for the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup.
With this victory, Australia women's had become the first ever national team to win in two different confederations, having won the OFC Women's Nations Cup three times before. Their success was later followed by their fellow men's team at the men's tournament 5 years later.
The two groups were drawn on 21 November 2009 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
