The 2025 SheBelieves Cup, named the 2025 SheBelieves Cup Presented by Visa for sponsorship reasons, was the tenth edition of the SheBelieves Cup, an invitational women's soccer tournament held in the United States. Featuring national teams from Australia, Colombia, Japan, and the United States, the tournament was held from February 20 to 26, 2025.[1] These were the debut SheBelieves Cup appearances for Australia and Colombia.[2][3]
Japan won the tournament for the first time with victories in all three of their games.[4] Mina Tanaka (JPN), who scored the most goals (4), earned the Most Valuable Player award.[5]
The format returned to the traditional six-game, three-match-day format as it was in 2023.[1] On each match day, two of the teams faced each other first, followed by the other two. The teams facing each other rotate from match day to match day in round-robin format.
For each game, 3 points were awarded for a win, 1 for a draw, and 0 for a loss. At the conclusion of the tournament the team with the most points won; if two teams were tied on points, the tie-breakers in order were goal difference, goals scored, head-to-head results, and a fair play ranking based on the number of red and yellow cards.[1]
