Overview

In 2025, they participated in the 2025 OFC Women's Nations Cup, drawing two games and losing one in the Group Stage before losing to Vanuatu 0-1 in the fifth-place match. Later in November 2025, they participated in the first round of the OFC qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup as one of the four lowest-ranked national teams in the OFC confederation. In the first round, they lost 0-1 to Cook Islands, ending their chance of participating in the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup. Their last match of 2025 was a FIFA-sanctioned friendly against Tonga (which had lost 0-3 to American Samoa 3 days prior) in which they lost 1-4.

As of November 2025, Tahiti is ranked 123rd in the FIFA Women's World Ranking.
