​The FIFA/Coca-Cola Women’s World Rankings looks at each country’s international results from the last four years. The ranking takes into account the result, the importance of the match, the strength of the opponent, the regional strength, the time period, and the number of matches per year.

​Canada moved up one spot from the last ranking in September (from 13th to 12th), slipping ahead of China PR. The only other movement on the top-12 list was France moving into ninth place ahead of Denmark.
