History

The Solomon Islands is known as one of the best footballing countries in the Pacific. However, that counts for the men's. The women's are still far behind. The Women's under-20 team participated just two times so far at the OFC U-20 Women's Championship: in 2004 and 2006. In both of these tournament they managed to get a draw: a 0–0 against Papua New Guinea and a 1–1 against Melanesian rivals Vanuatu. They suffered there biggest loss in 2004: a 13–0 loss against Australia. So far the Solomon Islands under-20 team has never won a single game. However, in 2019 they will get a new chance as they will participate again.
