The Irish women's senior international missed out on the FIFA award at the Ballon D'Or ceremony last month.
Instead, the Goal of the Year prize went to Colombia's James Rodriguez for his World Cup strike against Uruguay.
The Real Madrid midfielder got 42% of the votes, while Roche finished second on 33%. Manchester United's Robin van Persie finished third.
Roche also makes the move to her new club Houston Dash later this month.
She signed a two-year deal with the National Women's Soccer League – the highest level of football in America.
