Women's International LAcrosse
The Federation of International Lacrosse™, shortened to FIL™, was established in August 2008 in a merger of both the men's and women's international lacrosse associations. FIL™ is responsible for the World Indoor Lacrosse Championship, Women's Lacrosse World Cup, and Women's Under-19 World Lacrosse Championships. These events are held every four years.

Women's World Cup
The International Federation of Women's Lacrosse Associations (IFWLA) was formed in 1972 to promote and develop the game of women’s lacrosse throughout the world. Inaugural members were Australia, England, Scotland, Wales and the United States. The number of member countries has doubled as lacrosse has spread. The IFWLA World Cup started in 1982 as an international lacrosse tournament that is held every four years, except in 1989 when it had only been three years since the 1986 IFWLA World Championship. The first World Cup was hosted in Nottingham, England. The United States team has won every World Cup except 1986 and 2005 where it finished second behind Australia. The 2005 IFWLA World Cup, the seventh championship, was hosted by US Lacrosse in Annapolis, Md.

Women's U-19
The International Federation of Women's Lacrosse Associations (IFWLA) held its first U-19 World Championship in 1995. Australia defeated the United States in Haverford, Pennsylvania. In 1999, the United States returned the favor by defeating the Aussies on their home turf in Perth. The United States repeated as U-19 World Champions in 2003, winning the championship on its home turf in Baltimore, Maryland by defeating Australia 21-8 in the final. The U.S. made it three-in-a-row by claiming the 2007 Championship in Ontario, Canada, defeating Australia once again in the final.
