The first tournament was played in Zanzibar in 1986 and won by the host team.[1] After that there was no tournament for the next thirty years. The try for reviving the women's championship in the CECAFA region had been attempted in Zanzibar for October 2007.[2] But the tournament was cancelled and never played. The next edition then was proposed for 2016.[3]
That 2016 edition was hosted by Uganda and played in Jinja. There were no other bids to host the tournament.[4] Tanzania won the championship and also Burundi were playing their first official FIFA recognized games ever.[5]
The 2018 edition was again won by Tanzania.[6]
