The amount will double from the previous tournament, FIFA has announced.
The winners will receive $2m (approximately £1,280,000) compared to the $1m won by Japan in 2011.
A total of $15m will be on offer for the tournament in Canada, which runs from 6 June to 5 July, up from $10m four years ago.
Super Falcons of Nigeria will be competing with USA, Sweden and Australia in the Group D of the 7th edition of the tournament.
