The 2021 Tournoi de France was the second edition of the Tournoi de France, an international women's football tournament taking place in France, organized by the French Football Federation. It took place in Metz and Sedan, from 20 to 23 February 2021.

While the organization of the tournament seemed uncertain due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the FFF announced that the tournament would happen on 26 January 2021,[1] unlike England which canceled the tournament it was planning on hosting.[2] The matches will be played behind closed doors.[3] On 9 and 10 February 2021, Norway and Iceland announced their withdrawal from the competition, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe.[4][5]

France won their second title in as many editions.[6]
