The FIFA Women's World Cup 2003 was held in the United States and won by Germany. The tournament was originally scheduled for China, but the tournament was moved to the United States because of the 2003 SARS outbreak in China. Although the United States had hosted the 1999 version of the World Cup, it was thought that only the United States could organize the tournament so quickly. In addition, women's soccer boosters in the United States hoped that interest generated by the tournament would save the U.S. women's league, the Women's United Soccer Association, from folding.

Mostly due to the rescheduling of the tournament on short notice, FIFA and the United States Soccer Federation were forced to creatively schedule matches. Nine doubleheaders were scheduled in group play. They also had to abandon the modern practice of scheduling the final matches of the group stage to kick off simultaneously. In Groups A and D, the final matches were scheduled as the two ends of a doubleheader. The final matches in Groups B and C were also scheduled as doubleheaders, but split between two cities, with a Group B match in each city followed by a Group C match. The four quarterfinals were also scheduled as two doubleheaders, and both semifinals were also a doubleheader.
