2003 FIFA Women's World Cup Group D

Group D of the 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup was one of four groups of nations, consisting of Australia, China PR, Ghana and Russia. It began on September 21 and ended on September 28. Most matches were played at The Home Depot Center in Carson, save the last two that were played at PGE Park in Portland. China PR topped the group despite their lackluster performances, followed to the next round by Russia. Australia and Ghana didn't make the second round.

Three of these teams had also been also drawn together in Group D of the previous World Cup in 1999 (the exception was Russia, whose place was taken by fellow Europeans Sweden).
