How many World Cups has Mia Hamm played in?

Mia Hamm played in four FIFA Women's World Cups: 1991, 1995, 1999 and 2003.

Her first World Cup was the inaugural women's tournament in China in 1991, where the United States won the title. She also appeared at the 1995 tournament in Sweden, finishing third after a semifinal loss to Norway.

Hamm's most famous World Cup came in 1999, when the United States won on home soil. The 2003 tournament was also held in the United States after an outbreak of SARS led FIFA to move it from China. Hamm helped the team reach third place before retiring from international soccer in 2004.

A common mix-up is confusing World Cup appearances with Olympic appearances. Hamm played at three Olympic Games—1996, 2000 and 2004—but her World Cup total was four.
