Michelle Akers holds the record for the most goals scored in a single tournament, with 10 goals in 1991. The players that came closest were Sissi and Sun Wen in 1999, Birgit Prinz in 2003 and Marta in 2007, with 7 goals. The lowest scoring top scorers was Homare Sawa in 2011 and Hinata Miyazawa in 2023, with five goals. Across the 9 tournaments of the World Cup, 13 footballers have been credited with the most tournament goals, and no one has achieved this feat twice. These 13 top goalscorers played for 7 nations, the most (four) for United States. Another two came from Brazil, Germany and Japan.[2]
