The 2008 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup was the first women's football edition of the U-17 World Cup. It was held in New Zealand from 28 October to 16 November 2008. North Korea won the first edition, extending their grip of women's youth football having won the then-most recent U-20 Women's World Cup.

Host cities

Matches were played in four New Zealand cities:

  • The Auckland conurbation, New Zealand's largest metropolitan area, hosted the final and 3rd place playoff. The designated host stadium is located in North Shore City.
  • Hamilton hosted two of the quarter-finals.
  • Wellington, New Zealand's capital city, hosted two of the quarter-finals.
  • Christchurch, the only host city in the South Island, hosted the semi-finals.

Pool matches were spread evenly among these cities. The host nation, New Zealand, was based mostly in Auckland but played one pool match in Wellington.
