The 2014 AFC Women's Asian Cup, the 18th edition of the competition, was a women's association football tournament competed by national teams in Asian Football Confederation (AFC).

Reigning world champions Japan defeated the reigning Asian champions Australia 1–0 in the final to secure their first continental title.^[4]

Qualification

The final tournament was competed by eight teams, four of which were automatically qualified though their 2010 placement, while the others were determined via a qualification tournament.^[5]
