McNamara comes into the tournament off a blistering start to her A-League Women's season, leading the league in goals with 12 to her name.

The forward made her debut for Australia at the 2022 edition of the tournament; however, shortly after returning home, would sustain an ACL injury that saw her sidelined for the rest of the 2021/22 season.

Heartbreakingly, after recovering from the injury and receiving her first call-up for Australia in over a year, she suffered yet another ACL injury in November 2023 that saw her sidelined once again.

Despite a number of setbacks in her young career, McNamara made her return for Australia during the 2025 SheBelieves Cup game against Japan, marking 1,119 days between appearances in green & gold.

The forward scored her first goal for Australia in 2025, finding the back of the net against Slovenia during a match at HBF Park in Perth. McNamara will be hoping to bring her scintillating form in the domestic league to the tournament.
