The final broke multiple records.
The goals by Carli Lloyd in the 3rd, 5th and 16th minutes made her the first player to score a hat trick in a Women's World Cup's Final, second in either men's or women's final and the fastest from kickoff in either men's or women's World Cup tournament.
Yūki Ōgimi's goal in the twenty-seventh minute ended a United States streak at 540 minutes of not conceding a goal, tying a World Cup record of Germany in 2007.
Homare Sawa, a member of the Japanese 2011 winning team, was introduced in the first half of the game.
Christie Rampone, the only player remaining from the United States 1999 winning team, and Abby Wambach came on as subs late in the game.
This is expected to have been the final World Cup appearance for all three.
Rampone also became the oldest player to play in a Women's World Cup match, at the age of 40 years.

It also marked the first time since 1999 the United States held two major trophies in women's football (the Olympics medal and the World Cup).
The United States also overtook Germany as the highest-scoring team in women's World Cup history.

The 5–2 scoreline set a record for the highest number of goals scored in a Women's World Cup final, and equaled the score of a match played between the United States and Japan at the 1988 FIFA Women's Invitation Tournament.

On U.S. television, the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup shattered viewing records for soccer – played by men or women.
With the Fox Network reporting 25.4 million viewers and Spanish-language Telemundo reporting 1.3 million viewers, the combined 26.7 million viewers made the final the most-watched soccer game in American history.

As prize money for their victory, the US team was awarded $2 million.
This paled in comparison to the 2014 men's champion, Germany, who received $35 million.

On 11 July, the World Cup win was celebrated with ticker-tape parade in New York City.
It was the first time a team of female athletes were honored with a ticker-tape parade in the Canyon of Heroes in Lower Manhattan, and the first ticker-tape parade in New York City to honor female athletes since Olympic Athletes in 1984.
At the parade, Mayor Bill de Blasio handed the team keys to the city at a ceremony at City Hall.
