The women's 4 × 100 metres relay at the 2023 World Athletics Championships was held at the National Athletics Centre in Budapest on 24 and 25 August 2023.[1]

Summary

Jamaica had all of three 2022 World Championships 100m medalists, but double Olympic Gold Medalist

Melissa Jefferson with 200 metre silver medalist Gabby Thomas and 100 metre Gold Medalist Sha'Carri Richardson
.

Côte d'Ivoire set an African record of 41.90 in the heats.

In the final, out of the blocks, USA's

Marie-Josée Ta Lou tripped over Jessika Gbai, both athletes crashing to the track. Thomas brought USA around the turn ahead of Jamaica's Shashalee Forbes, only GBR with Bianca Williams and the Netherlands with Nadine Visser still battling for the bronze. Tasa Jiya started running too early, never connecting with Visser and GBR had clear sailing to bronze. Richardson got the baton for USA two metres up on Jamaica's Jackson. The United States was clear to win with Jamaica two metres back and GBR's Daryll Neita 10 metres back. The winning time of 41.03 took down Jamaica's Championships Record
and was the fourth best time ever run, the third best by an American squad. Jamaica's 41.21 was number 8 on that same all time list, the fourth best by a Jamaican squad.
