The 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification process will decide 23 of the 24 teams which will play in the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, with the hosts France qualifying automatically.
The following teams qualified for the final tournament.
The slot allocation was approved by the FIFA Council on 13–14 October 2016. The slots for each confederation are unchanged from that of the previous tournament except the slot for the hosts is moved from CONCACAF (Canada) to UEFA (France).
Qualifying matches are expected to take place in 2017 and 2018.
Besides the host France, all 210 remaining FIFA member associations are eligible to enter the qualifying process. However, as Equatorial Guinea have been banned from the 2018 Africa Women Cup of Nations, they are also in effect banned from qualifying for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup.

As in the previous World Cup cycle, the AFC Women's Asian Cup will serve as the World Cup qualifying tournament for AFC members. The World Cup qualifying process will be as follows:
Qualifying: The qualifying for the 2018 AFC Women's Asian Cup will be held from 3 to 12 April 2017. A total of 24 teams entered the competition, with Japan, Australia, China automatically qualified for the final tournament by their position as the top three teams of the 2014 AFC Women's Asian Cup and thus not participating in the qualifying competition. Jordan also automatically qualified for the final tournament as hosts, but decided to also participate in the qualifying competition. The 21 teams were drawn into one group of six teams and three groups of five teams. In each group, teams play each other once at a centralised venue. The four group winners qualify for the final tournament. If Jordan win their group, the runner-up of their group also qualifies for the final tournament.
Final tournament: A total of eight teams will play in the 2018 AFC Women's Asian Cup, which will be held from 7 to 22 April 2018 in Jordan. They will be drawn into two groups of four teams. The top two teams of each group will qualify for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup as well as advance to the knockout stage, while the third-placed teams of each group will advance to the fifth-placed play-off, where the winner of the play-off will qualify for the World Cup.
