The USA remain on top with Germany and Sweden rounding out the top three.
England, who recently created history by winning their first major women’s tournament in a dramatic Euro 2022 final, are fourth.
Meanwhile, Ireland’s focus remains on their penultimate game in Group A this September when they take on Finland. Both teams have two more games to play. Sweden have already won the group but the runner-up spot, and a place in the play-offs, is up for grabs.
