Getty/GOALThe event moved us one step closer to next summer's biggest ever tournament, which will take place in Australia and New Zealand and feature 32 teams for the first time.
Three of those places are still to be secured via the play-off tournament in February, with those 10 nations now knowing more about the spots they are competing for after the groups were confirmed.
So, who was the draw kind to and who was it hard on? GOAL picks out the winners and losers...
GettyWhen the Netherlands was the first opponent drawn for the U.S. women's national team in Saturday's draw, there will have been fears from fans in the States that the group could turn out to be an incredibly tough one.
However, Vlatko Andonovski's side then landed a debutante, in Vietnam, and a play-off winner to round off a relatively kind pool despite the presence of their opposition from the 2019 Women's World Cup final.
Should they win the group, they should be rewarded with a nice knockout round run, too. In the round of 16, they'd land the runner-up of Group G, in which Sweden shouldn't have too much challenge for top spot, while the quarter-finals would give them a runner-up or the winner of Group A, arguably the weakest group in the tournament.
GettyAfter being drawn in the 'group of death' in 2019, Jamaica were once again dealt that fate for 2023. The Reggae Girlz will face Brazil again in their second World Cup campaign as well as France, semi-finalists at the Euros this past summer.
Landing what is likely to be the weakest play-off winner to complete the group was a relief, at least.
There's no doubt in the ability within Jamaica's team - led by Manchester City striker Bunny Shaw - but to finish in the top two will be tough.
That they will be one of the teams having to make a long trip west to Perth for their second game - a city some 2,000 miles from Sydney, where their first game will be played - won't help either.
Should they qualify for the knockouts, the draw doesn't get much easier, as a runner-up spot would land them Germany in the next round.
Getty ImagesHad a stronger team from Pot 2 been placed into England's group on Saturday, they would've quickly become a loser from this draw rather than a winner as it would've made their pool one of the toughest of the eight.
The European champions, however, were handed China before a difficult Denmark came out of Pot 3. The Asian nation is not without talent, which was evident earlier this year when they triumphed in the Asian Cup, but they are certainly chaotic defensively.
Being the only team in Group D that won't have to make the long trip to Perth will be a plus for the Lionesses, too.
Sarina Wiegman's side will have a tricky knockout run, likely to face hosts Australia and then Germany in the quarters, but to expect an easy ride in those stages of a World Cup would be naive.
After this past summer, and the recent win over the USWNT, they'll back themselves to beat anyone, anyway.
GettyThe Republic of Ireland made history this month by reaching their first ever major tournament on the women's side and they were shown just how big reaching a World Cup is by the draw.
The debutantes find themselves in a very tricky group, with Olympic gold medallists Canada, hosts Australia and the only African nation to reach every edition of this tournament, Nigeria.
On the one hand, it's a wide open one that they could get out of. Ireland showed their qualities throughout qualification and have some fantastic players in their ranks, from Arsenal's Katie McCabe to Denise O'Sullivan, one of the most respected midfielders in the NWSL - the top league in the United States.
However, it's one that there will be no easy wins in, either. Every single match will be a huge challenge.
Should they finish in the top two, which they are capable of, England or Denmark will be the next opponent. Whatever happens, it'll be a star-studded first experience of a World Cup for the Girls in Green.
GettyIt was always going to be the case that both Australia and New Zealand would benefit from this draw given neither would've been in Pot A without the honour of being hosts.
New Zealand, who have competed at five World Cup tournaments but never reached the knockouts, did so more than their neighbours, getting arguably the most difficult group to call across the eight.
That's not because it's a 'group of death' but rather one in which it's difficult to see which team is strong enough to be dubbed firm contenders for top spot. Norway would usually be the pick as top dog, with Switzerland and the Philippines the other nations in the first pool, but the Scandinavian nation had an incredibly tough Euros this past summer.
Australia's draw is trickier but they will still be considered the second strongest team in Group B and certainly avoided something extremely tough.
GettyIt was always going to be a big ask for anyone in Pot 4 to get a good draw, but none of the groups that the play-off winners have been placed in feel like they are ones in which a serious upset could be caused.
The winners of play-off A will get the two teams that made up the 2019 final, the USWNT and the Netherlands; winners of play-off B will face the European champions, England; while the winners of play-off C are added to the 'group of death' with France, Brazil and Jamaica.
They are exciting draws for nations aiming to qualify for their first World Cups, which six of the 10 teams in the play-off tournament are, but they are daunting all the same.
