History

The women's national team of the Philippines made their international debut at the 2017 IIHF Women's Challenge Cup of Asia in Bangkok, Thailand. [3] The team was mentored by Filipino head coach John Steven Füglister at the tournament. [4]

In 2018, the Philippines competed at the Division I tournament of the 2018 IIHF Women's Challenge Cup of Asia in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. They finished third place in the tournament ahead of India and behind first placers and host Malaysia, and the United Arab Emirates. [5] The squad's head coach for this tournament was Hector Navasero. [6]

They improved their finishing in the 2019 edition hosted in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, clinching the Division I title after winning 2–1 over the host United Arab Emirates in the final. The team was coached by Carl Montano. [7] They secured a promotion for the top division. [8]

The Challenge Cup of Asia would have been hosted at home in Metro Manila in 2020. [9] However the COVID-19 pandemic led to the tournament's cancellation [10] and forced the national team into a hiatus for a few years. [11] Half of the squad which last played in 2019 left. [12]

Having skipped the tournament now known as the Women's Asia and Oceania Cup in 2023, the Philippines returns to competitive play [11] in the 2024 edition where it finished as silver medalists. [2]
