The UNAF Women's Tournament is an international women's football tournament organized by the Union of North African Football (UNAF) However, the tournament invites teams from other nations. Morocco and Tunisia were the most successful countries in the competition, each winning one title.

The first edition was played in 2009 in Tunisia, with three teams participating: Algeria, Egypt and Tunisia. Tunisia won the title after topping the standings, with Algeria finishing second and Egypt third. ^[1] After an 11-year hiatus, the tournament was held again in 2020 in Tunisia, with the participation of five teams: Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, and Mauritania and Tanzania, who were invited to participate. Morocco won the title after topping the standings, ^[2] with Tanzania taking second place, ^[3] Tunisia third, Algeria fourth, and Mauritania fifth. The third edition was scheduled to be played in Egypt in 2023, but it was cancelled due to a decrease in the number of participating countries and a lack of interest among member federations. ^[4]
