Fans have gathered in London to watch the Lionesses make history with a 3-1 over the tournament co-hosts.
England roared into a first-half lead as Ella Toone sent a stunning strike into the top corner, but Sam Kerr hit back with a screamer of her own to level the game shortly after the break.
With the game in the balance, Lauren Hemp popped up to poke home a second, giving the European champions a 2-1 lead heading into the final exchanges.
Alessia Russo then added a third in the 86th minute, finishing off a fine counter-attack to put the Lionesses into their first-ever World Cup final.
They will face Spain in the showpiece on Sunday, looking to follow up last summer’s Euros success with the biggest trophy of all.
