In many instances during these formative years of women's soccer, countries were represented by club sides, e.g. Bergisch Gladbach (Germany), largely because of the lack of a national association at the time.
However, there were several instances of countries which had formed national associations sending their full national teams, e.g. New Zealand & Australia.
For simplicity's sake, the country has been used.
Also, and unsurprisingly, there are a number of missing results.
Many thanks to Mark Cruickshank for his pursuit of this information.
