The 2013 International Women's Club Championship was the second worldwide international women's football club tournament, and was held in Japan from 30 November–8 December 2013. Five teams, comprising representatives from Europe, Australia, South America, and Asia took part in the competition.

Participating teams

The invited teams were the champions of Europe, Australia, South America, Japan, and the Nadeshiko League Cup.[1][2][3][4] As INAC Kobe Leonessa won both the Japanese Cup and league, the runner-up of the league will be invited as well. An unidentified team from the United States was also invited but ultimately declined.[5] Wolfsburg, the champions of Europe, also apparently declined, and they were replaced by Chelsea.[6]
