Their biggest win was earning the gold medal at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. The team has also won the CONCACAF Women's Championship twice. They have also won two Olympic bronze medals.

History of the Team

Early Years (1986–1999)

Many countries started women's soccer teams in the 1980s. The Canadian Soccer Association created its first team in 1986. They picked the players on Canada Day. The team played its first game on July 7, 1986. They lost 2–0 to the United States. Their coach, Neil Turnbull, told them to win the next game. Canada won the second game 2–1. Geri Donnelly scored both goals.

In the beginning, the women's team did not have much money. Their yearly budget was only $12,000. The men's team had $1.7 million. Many Canadian players had played in the U.S. college system. This system had more money. In 1987, the team went to Taiwan. Each player had to help pay for the trip.

FIFA held a trial tournament in 1988. It was to see if a women's World Cup was possible. Canada was one of two teams from their region to play. They reached the quarter-finals. This tournament was a success. It led to the creation of the FIFA Women's World Cup. The first one was in China in 1991. Canada tried to qualify but lost to the United States.

After not qualifying for the 1991 World Cup, the team did not play for two years. They reunited for the next CONCACAF championship in 1993. Canada finished second again. In 1994, Canada hosted the 1994 CONCACAF Women's Championship in Montreal. This tournament was a World Cup qualifier. They finished second again, which meant they qualified for the 1995 FIFA Women's World Cup. At the end of that year, Charmaine Hooper won the first Female Player of the Year award. She was a key player from the 1986 team.

At the 1995 World Cup in Sweden, Canada played England. They were losing 3–0 but came back. Helen Stoumbos scored Canada's first World Cup goal. Donnelly scored another goal, but they lost 3–2. Canada also tied Nigeria 3–3. They lost 7–0 to Norway. Canada did not get past the group stage. This meant they did not qualify for the first women's Olympic tournament in 1996.

Canada hosted the 1998 CONCACAF Women's Championship in Toronto. The United States did not play in this one. Canada beat Mexico 1–0 in the final. This was their first big championship win. Liz Smith scored the only goal. Silvana Burtini scored eight goals in the tournament.

At the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup, Canada tied Japan. But they lost badly to Norway (7–1) and Russia (4–1). They were out of the tournament early again. Hooper was their top scorer. Many players from the early years retired after this World Cup.

Christine Sinclair's Rise (2000–2008)

After the 1999 World Cup, Canada hired a new coach, Even Pellerud from Norway. He looked for new players across the country. He found a 16-year-old named Christine Sinclair. She quickly became the team's most important player. In 2000, Canada played in the 2000 CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup. They lost to the United States in the semi-final. Sinclair and Hooper were the top scorers. Pellerud brought in more young players like Candace Chapman, Carmelina Moscato, and Kara Lang. Canada reached the final of the 2002 CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup. They qualified for the World Cup but lost to the United States. Sinclair and Hooper were top scorers again.

The 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup was held in the United States. Canada had a mix of older and younger players. They had great success. They lost to Germany but beat Argentina and Japan. They moved to the knockout stage. In the quarter-final, Canada beat China 1–0. Hooper scored the winning goal. Canada lost to Sweden in the semi-final. They then lost to the United States in the third-place match. Canada finished fourth, their best result ever. Hooper was named to the All-Star Team.

Canada did not qualify for the 2004 Summer Olympics. This was a big disappointment for the team. Pellerud wanted to improve training for the team. He helped create a program where players could train full-time and earn a salary. This led to some disagreements with players. Some players were suspended. Sinclair became the new captain.

Canada qualified for the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup in China. They lost to Norway. Then they beat Ghana 4–0, with Sinclair scoring twice. In their last group game, Sinclair scored a late goal against Australia. But Australia tied the game at the very end. Canada was out of the tournament. Later that year, they won a bronze medal at the 2007 Pan American Games.

Canada earned its first Olympic spot in 2008. They beat Mexico in a semi-final game. At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Canada beat Argentina. They moved past the group stage. They lost to the United States in the quarter-finals. Sinclair scored Canada's only goal. After the Olympics, Pellerud left as coach. He helped make the team more professional.

New Coaches and Challenges (2009–2018)

Carolina Morace from Italy became the new coach in 2009. She wanted the team to play with more skill and better tactics. Her new style worked well at first. Canada won the 2010 CONCACAF Women's World Cup Qualifying. They beat Mexico 1–0 in the final, with Sinclair scoring. By 2011, Canada was ranked ninth in the world. Morace had some disagreements with the Canadian Soccer Association about money. She planned to leave after the World Cup. The team even went on strike to support her. She eventually stayed after an agreement was made.

At the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup, Canada lost to host Germany. Sinclair scored even though her nose was broken. They then lost badly to France (4–0). This meant they were out of the tournament. Sinclair called it the "lowest point" in her career. Canada lost their last game to Nigeria. Morace resigned after the team finished last.

John Herdman from England became the new coach in August 2011. He built on Morace's ideas. Less than two months later, the team won gold at the 2011 Pan American Games. They beat Brazil in a penalty shootout.

Canada hosted the 2012 CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament. They qualified for the Olympics by beating Mexico. But they lost to the United States in the final. At the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Canada lost to Japan. But they beat South Africa and tied Sweden. They moved past the group stage. Canada beat Great Britain 2–0 in the quarter-final. They then played a famous semi-final against the United States. Sinclair scored three goals, but Canada lost 4–3. The game had some controversial referee calls. Canada won the bronze medal game, their first Olympic medal in soccer.

The London Olympics made the women's team very popular. Christine Sinclair became a national hero. She won top athlete awards in Canada. The team also won Team of the Year.

Canada hosted the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup. There were high hopes for the team. In the group stage, Canada beat China 1–0 with a penalty kick from Sinclair. They tied their other two games. Canada finished first in their group. They beat Switzerland 1–0 in the Round of 16. In the quarter-final, Canada lost 2–1 to England. Sinclair scored their only goal. People felt the team needed more players to score goals. Kadeisha Buchanan was named the best young player of the tournament. Later that summer, Canada played in the Pan American Games. New young players like Jessie Fleming and Janine Beckie joined the team. Canada finished fourth. Buchanan won the Female Player of the Year award.

Canada qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. They reached the final of the qualifying tournament but lost to the United States. A month later, they won the 2016 Algarve Cup. At the Olympic tournament, Canada won all three group games. They beat Germany for the first time in 22 years. Canada beat France in the quarter-final. But they lost to Germany in the semi-final. In the bronze medal game, Sinclair scored the winning goal against Brazil. Canada won its second straight Olympic bronze medal.

In 2018, John Herdman left to coach the men's national team. This was a surprise to the women's team. Herdman was known for his motivational skills. He helped the team improve a lot. Canada was ranked fifth in the world when he left.

Olympic Gold and a New Era (2018–present)

Kenneth Heiner-Møller became the new head coach. Canada qualified for the World Cup by beating Panama 7–0. They lost to the United States in the final.

At the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, Canada beat Cameroon and New Zealand. They lost to the Netherlands. Sinclair scored a goal, making her one of only a few players to score in five different World Cups. In the Round of 16, Canada lost to Sweden 1–0. They missed a penalty kick that could have tied the game. Many people felt the team still needed more players to score goals besides Sinclair.

During the 2020 CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifying Championship, Christine Sinclair scored her 185th international goal. This broke the world record for most goals scored by any player. Canada qualified for the Olympics but lost to the United States in the final. The COVID-19 pandemic delayed the Olympics by a year. Heiner-Møller left before the delayed Olympics.

In October 2020, Bev Priestman became the new head coach. She had coached Canadian youth teams before. She wanted to "change the colour of the medal" at the Olympics. The Tokyo Olympics started with a 1–1 draw against Japan. Sinclair played her 300th game. Goalkeeper Stephanie Labbé played through an injury and made a key penalty save. Canada beat Chile 2–1 and tied Great Britain. They moved to the quarter-finals. They beat Brazil in a penalty shootout. Labbé was amazing in goal. In the semi-final, Canada beat the United States 1–0. This was their first win against the U.S. in 20 years. Jessie Fleming scored the winning penalty. Fleming scored another penalty in the final against Sweden. The game ended 1–1. Canada won 3–2 in a penalty shootout to win their first Olympic gold medal! Julia Grosso scored the final goal. This was a huge win for Canadian soccer and a highlight for Sinclair.

After the Olympics, Labbé retired. Kailen Sheridan became the new starting goalkeeper. Canada qualified for the World Cup at the 2022 CONCACAF W Championship. They beat Jamaica in the semi-final. But they lost 1–0 to the United States in the final.

In 2023, there were disagreements with the Canadian Soccer Association about pay. The players even went on strike briefly. The team finished last in the 2023 SheBelieves Cup. At the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, Canada drew 0–0 with Nigeria. Sinclair missed a penalty. They beat Ireland 2–1. But in the final group match, they lost 4–0 to co-host Australia. Canada was eliminated from the tournament. They were the first Olympic champions not to reach the knockout stage of the World Cup. People worried about the team's ability to score goals without Sinclair being in her prime.

Despite the World Cup disappointment, Canada qualified for its fifth straight Olympics. They beat Jamaica 4–1 over two games. Sinclair played her final game on December 5, 2023, in Vancouver. The stadium was even renamed "Christine Sinclair Place" for the day. Canada beat Australia 1–0 in front of a record crowd. Her retirement marked the end of an important time for Canadian soccer.

New Era (2024–present)

In 2024, Jessie Fleming was named the new team captain. Canada reached the semi-finals of the 2024 CONCACAF W Gold Cup. They tied the United States 2–2 but lost in a penalty shootout.

Before the 2024 Summer Olympics, there was an incident. Members of Canada's team staff were accused of using a camera drone to record a practice of New Zealand, their first opponent. The team analyst was held by police. The analyst, an assistant coach, and later the head coach, were sent home by Canada Soccer. FIFA punished Canada by taking away six points in the tournament. They also fined Canada Soccer and suspended the coaches for one year. Despite the penalty, Canada won all their group games. They beat New Zealand and France 2–1, and Colombia 1–0. They still made it to the knockout round. Fleming called it a "unique group stage." Canada tied Germany in the quarter-final but lost in a penalty shootout. After an investigation, the coaches involved in the drone incident were officially fired.
