The Gibraltar women's national football team represents the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar in international women's football. Although the Gibraltar Football Association is a member of UEFA and FIFA, the association is yet to field a women's team in FIFA Women's World Cup or UEFA Women's Championship qualification. Instead, the team has largely been restricted to appearances at the biennial Island Games football tournaments, first appearing in the 2011 edition.

History
Women's football is still in its infancy in Gibraltar, with only three teams participating in the Gibraltar Women's Football League as of the 2018–19 season. However it has grown with 5 teams competing in 2021–22. In 2014, it did host a women's development tournament organised by UEFA, losing 1–0 in its first game to Andorra.[2] The side lost all three games against Andorra, Luxembourg and an Algarve XI.[3] However, as a development tournament, these games are not recognised as full internationals.
Since then, Gibraltar's involvement in UEFA sanctioned women's football has been limited to sending under-16 girls' teams to participate in development tournaments, most recently in Malta in 2019.[4] In June 2021 the team made their debut in a full international, in a 4–1 defeat to Liechtenstein.[5]
Since 2011 the Gibraltar women's team has taken part in the Island Games, and the players have yet to take part in a UEFA Women's Championship since their FA's admission into the organisation. However, in November 2021 it was announced that an under-19 team would be formed and entered into qualification for the 2023 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship.[6]
Gibraltar did not enter the inaugural UEFA Women's Nations League.[7]
