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.
