Palestine played their first match in 2005 against Jordan in a 9–0 defeat at the WAFF Women's Championship. Five years later, they entered their first AFC Women's Asian cup Qualification. Although Palestine didn't make it to the final tournament, they recorded their first international win during the qualification campaign with a 4–0 win against the Maldives.
Whilst the team has yet to qualify for any major international tournament, they participated in seven (out of eight) WAFF Women's Championship editions. Their best performance came in 2014 when they finished as runners-up, marking their highest achievement to date.
