The Copa América Femenina (Copa América Feminina in Portuguese), previously the Campeonato Sudamericano de Fútbol Femenino (Campeonato Sul-Americano de Futebol Feminino), usually shortened to Sudamericano Femenino (Sul-Americano Feminino), is the main competition in women's association football for national teams that are affiliated with CONMEBOL.

In the first two editions of the tournament, only one team (the champions) qualified for the FIFA Women's World Cup.

In the third edition, the champions qualified automatically, while the runners-up faced a team from the CONCACAF region in a play-off match to earn a spot in the World Cup.

In the fourth to sixth editions, two automatic spots were given to the top two teams for the 2003 to 2011 World Cups respectively.

The confederation introduced a separate South American qualifier for the Women's World Cup in December 2024.
