Brosnan was instrumental in the wins against Finland, Slovakia, and Scotland as the Girls in Green booked their ticket to the finals in Australia and New Zealand last year.
On Thursday, Ireland will be hosting Zambia in a friendly match. A week later, Pauw will announce her final 23-player World Cup squad, and seven days after that, there will be a farewell friendly against France.
Then Ireland will start their World Cup adventure in Sydney on July 20 with a match against the Australian team. Vera Pauw's side will then play Nigeria and Canada in consecutive weeks.
Despite the busy schedule, Brosnan is starting to get World Cup fever ahead of the Girls in Green's maiden tournament.
"Coming into camp, it’s been a bit more real than it has been," said Brosnan as she was named Senior Women's Player of the Year at the FAI's International Awards on Tuesday.
"We’ve been waiting for so long, everyone’s starting to get that feeling that the World Cup is right around the corner.

We know what we’re capable of, but we’re not going to be satisfied with that. We obviously want to do well this summer and continue to build. That’s really important for us."
The 27-year-old also had a number of words to say about the award she won on Tuesday.
"Really, really proud moment for me and for my family," added the Everton keeper. "I'm really grateful to be a part of this group and to be able to put on this shirt. It's unbelievable for me; it's kind of hard to describe how much it means to me.
"There's excitement for sure. Obviously, everyone's really happy to be in and around each other again; we have a great group of girls here and we love spending time with each other. It's that nervous excitement to be able to train and obviously putting in those performances to get on the plane to go this summer."
