(Eagles of Carthage) | Sub-confederation = UNAF (North Africa) | Other-affiliation = UAFA (Arab World) (Alexandria, Egypt; 20 April 2006) (Berrechid, Morocco; 26 October 2025) (Tunis, Tunisia; 11 July 2024)

Tunisia has never qualified for the FIFA Women's World Cup or Summer Olympics and its participation in Women's Africa Cup of Nations is sporadic, having only qualified for three editions. Tunisia qualified for the 2008 African Women's Championship, its first participation in a major tournament. However, the team was eliminated from the group stage after two defeats and a draw. The team returned to the competition after a 14-year absence, this time in the 2022 edition in Morocco. The team's performance did not rise to a high level, as it advanced to the quarter-finals in third place in its group after a win and two defeats, and was then eliminated by South Africa, the champion of that edition. Tunisia qualified for the 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations and was eliminated from the group stage. Tunisia has also participated in two editions of the Arab Women's Cup, the team finished third in 2006 and reached the final of the 2021 edition, but lost to Jordan to finish second.

History

Women's football in Tunisia is now multiplying efforts to assert its national and international reputation. Nevertheless, the road may be long. The beginning of women's football in Tunisia during the 2000s, women's football remained non-existent in Tunisia. This discipline practiced in women has indeed suffered from a total neglect of the major players in the sector. This neglect is the result of a culture rooted in male football. Moreover, women have fallen behind in the field. The Tunisian Women's Championship and Tunisian Women's Cup started in the 2004–05 season. It is a national football competition organized every year. This competition opposes the best women's football clubs in Tunisia. Tunisian women's football on the international level despite the national competitions, Tunisia remains absent from international confrontations. FIFA has also qualified Tunisia as inactive since 2016.

Yet, the Tunisian federation has committed to the establishment of a large women's national team. This initiative aims to create a female model of Tunisian football at the international level and to change the finding of FIFA. This organization, advised by Tarek Bouchamaoui, will be able to see the skills of women's football. Moreover, Bouchamaoui, a member of the FIFA Council, wishes an improvement of all the teams in Africa, including the women's teams.

The Tunisian team qualified for second time to 2022 Women's Africa Cup of Nations after a victory against Equatorial Guinea. In their first match against Togo, Tunisia recorded their first win ever in the WAFCON 4–1. Even with two defeats against Zambia 1–0 and Cameroon 2–0, the team was still able to qualify to the quarter-finals for the first time ever as one of the third ranked teams. Against South Africa, Tunisia lost 1–0. The Tunisians still had another chance with a Repechage match against Senegal to enter the inter-confederation play-offs, yet another lacklustre performance saw Tunisia's dream crashed out, losing 2–4 on penalties.

On 26 October 2025, during the first match of the Friendly FIFA Unites Women's Series, Tunisia achieved their biggest victory in the team's history after defeating Libya 16–0.
