Featuring national teams from Spain, England, Japan, and hosts United States, it began on March 5 and ended on March 11, 2020, making it the last soccer tournament in the United States to be completed before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down all professional sports in the country.[1] Apart from host United States, England were the only other team to have featured in every tournament, but this is the last time they have featured to date. 2020 was Japan's second appearance following their debut in 2019, while it was the first time Spain had taken part.
England were the defending champions.[2]
The United States won their third overall title.[3]
