The team was expected to participate in the 2003 and 2007 OFC Women's Championships, but ultimately withdrew from both.
After seven years of inactivity, Vanuatu returned to the international competition in the 2010 OFC Women's Championship in New Zealand. With only one goal, scored by midfielder Stephanie Tougen, the team finished last in the Group A table, after losing all of its games against the Cook Islands, New Zealand and Tahiti.
Vanuatu failed to qualify for the 2012 Olympics tournament, due to its poor performance in the qualifiers. Nevertheless, the team managed to achieve a second victory, with Samoa.
In 2026, Vanuatu will participate in the second round of the OFC qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup. In the group stage, they will face Papua New Guinea, Fiji, and New Caledonia.
