FRANCE 2019: The Women's World Cup 2019 has arrived, with 24 countries battling it out over a month to be crowned the winners

Cristiane (2ndR) is congratulated by teammates after scoring.

The Women's World Cup 2019 has arrived, with 24 countries battling it out over a month to be crowned the winners.
It's the eighth edition of the competition, most recently won by the US in Canada 2015 - their third success.
Phil Neville's England will be among the favourites when the tournament begins on June 7. They've been drawn against Scotland, Argentina and Japan in Group D.

Brazil striker scored the first hat-trick of the Women's World Cup and became the oldest player in the tournament's history to hit a treble as Brazil beat debutants Jamaica 3-0 in Group C.
The 34-year-old Cristiane, replacing injured six-time FIFA World Player of the Year Marta, netted in the 15th, 50th and 64th minute in front of a 17,000 crowd at the Stade des Alpes in Grenoble.
Aged 34 years and 25 days, she beat the record held by Cristiano Ronaldo, who was 33 years and 130 days old when he scored a hat-trick in Portugal's 3-3 draw with Spain at Russia 2018.
But when are the games, and how can you watch? You can find out all you need to know below.
