Group C was one of four groups of nations competing at the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup. The group's first round of matches began on September 12 and its last matches were played on September 20. Most matches were played at the Yellow Dragon Stadium in Hangzhou. Norway topped the group, joined in the second round by Australia, the only team Norway failed to beat. Canada surprisingly failed to make the second round. This was the third successive World Cup where Australia and Ghana were drawn in the same group.
