They have qualified for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup nine out of twelve, finishing runners-up in 2002. They have also competed at the CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship ten of twelve times, winning in back-to-back championship in 2004 and 2008.

Two years later, Canada won the 2004 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship, again on home soil in another final contested against the Americans. They would repeat the feat four years later in Mexico, defeating the United States to capture their second CONCACAF Women's U-20 title.
