Australia has qualified for the FIFA World Cup seven times, making their debut at the 1974 World Cup in West Germany. The team made its second appearance 32 years later at the 2006 World Cup in Germany. Since then, Australia has qualified for every edition of the tournament, including the 2026 World Cup, where it is grouped with Paraguay, Turkey (Türkiye), and the United States.
