The 2009 Women's Lacrosse World Cup, the eighth World Cup played, is the preeminent international women's lacrosse tournament. The tournament was held at SK Slavia Prague Sport Centre in Prague, Czech Republic from 17 until 27 June 2009.
Sponsoring organizations
The event is sponsored by the Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) and the Czech Women’s Lacrosse (CWL). This tournament was first held in 1982 and is held every four years. It is the first major event to be sponsored by the FIL. In August 2008, the men's international governing body International Lacrosse Federation merged with the former governing body for women's lacrosse, the International Federation of Women's Lacrosse Associations, to form the Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL).http://www.laxmagazine.com/sports/s-inter/spec-rel/081308aae.html ILF, IFWLA Merge to Form FIL Logue Brian 13 August 2008 Lacrosse Magazine US Lacrosse 13 November 2008 https://web.archive.org/web/20090223144332/http://laxmagazine.com/sports/s-inter/spec-rel/081308aae.html 23 February 2009 dead
The CWL also sponsors the 12th annual Prague Cup as an associated event. This tournament, held at the same venue as the World Cup, allows international club teams to compete at the same time in the open event.http://www.lacrossepraguecup.cz/ Women's Prague Cup 2009 Czech Women's Lacrosse 25 February 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20090223044646/http://www.lacrossepraguecup.cz/ 23 February 2009 livehttp://www.lacrosseworldcup2009.com/index.php/en/home/prague-cup.html About Prague Cup Czech Women's Lacrosse 25 February 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20090309110349/http://lacrosseworldcup2009.com/index.php/en/home/prague-cup.html 9 March 2009 dead

Lacrosse is seen as a sacred sport to the Iroquois and was traditionally a sport reserved for only men. In earlier tournaments, clan mothers protested the women's team playing the sacred sport and threatened to lay down on the field to prevent them from playing.https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F02E6DB173FF930A25756C0A9619C8B63&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=all Cradle of a Sport Has Crossed the Gender Line Berg Aimee The New York Times 13 May 2007 10 February 2009
