History
Early Years
The inception of the Bahamas women's national football team dates back to the early 2000s. when they participated in the inaugural Caribbean Football Union Women's Championship qualification preliminary round where they were drawn against Bermuda women's national football team losing both matches with an aggregate score of 9–0.
the Bahamian team's first attempt to qualify for a CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup was in 2002 when they participated in the 2002 CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup qualification. Placed in Group 2, their opponents included national teams from the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Saint Lucia. Losing all matches the Bahamas scored one consolation goal against St Lucia and conceded 19.
After this unsuccessful campaign, the Bahamas women's national team went on a long break, staying out of the action for 19 years.
Back To the International Stage
in 2021, the Bahamas Football Association announced the team's return to competitive action. as they would participate in a friendly tournament hosted in the Turks and Caicos Islands, alongside the host team, the Cayman Islands, and the United States Virgin Islands also participated, Although they faced an initial setback, losing their opening match against the Cayman Islands by a margin of 4-0, the Bahamas bounced back with a resounding victory over the host team, Turks and Caicos, prevailing with a score of five to two. to register their first win in 21 years. This triumph secured their spot in the tournament's final, where they faced the Cayman Islands once again, ultimately finishing as runners-up after a 4-0 loss.
