NI International Emily Wilson, who was part of the Northern Ireland side that created history last summer when they made their debut at a major championship, said it was an "incredible" experience to take part in the tournament.
She said: “Playing in the tournament was a real coup and taking part in the parade and seeing all the teams from across the world was an incredible experience.
“It was great to see teams from across the globe playing in the girls’ section last summer and it is fantastic to see the growth of the girls’ section. I hope it continues to go from strength to strength.”
