All-Time WUSA Standings

Here are the all-time standings and playoff results for the Women’s United Soccer Association (WUSA), which hoped to capitalize on the success of the 1999 Women’s World Cup in the United States and operated eight clubs for three seasons (2001-2003).

After massive losses (including burning through its five-year, $40 million budget in just one year), the league folded on the eve of the 2003 Women’s World Cup. It would be six years before the second attempt at a women’s professional league, Women’s Professional Soccer (WPS), was launched.
