The Wales national women's football team ({{langx|cy|Tîm pêl-droed merched cenedlaethol Cymru}}) represents Wales in international football. It is controlled by the Football Association of Wales (FAW), the governing body for football in Wales and the third-oldest national football association in the world, founded in {{start date and age|1876|p=y}}.

Wales qualified for their first major championship, UEFA Women's Euro 2025, in December 2024.{{Cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/live/cn010xx9527t|title=Euro 2025 play-off: Wales beat Republic of Ireland to reach first major women's tournament|website=BBC Sport|access-date=2024-12-03|archive-date=2024-12-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241203095741/https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/live/cn010xx9527t|url-status=live}} They have never qualified for the FIFA Women's World Cup. The closest they have come was falling to Switzerland in the UEFA play-offs final for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.{{Cite web|title=Women's World Cup play-off: Wales hearts broken by extra-time Switzerland winner|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63191596|date=11 October 2022|access-date=17 December 2022|publisher=BBC|archive-date=29 May 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230529134732/https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63191596|url-status=live}} However, they are set to take part in a World Cup for the first time in 2035 when they automatically qualified as co-host with other three countries in the United Kingdom.

As a country of the United Kingdom, Wales is not a member of the International Olympic Committee and therefore the national team does not compete in the Olympic Games.

History

The Wales Women's National Team was established in 1973.{{Cite web |last=Harries |first=Owain |date=2024-02-23 |title=Republic of Ireland v Cymru - A fixture that shaped a brighter women's future |url=https://faw.cymru/news/republic-of-ireland-v-cymru-a-fixture-that-shaped-a-brighter-womens-future/ |access-date=2024-07-20 |website=FAW |language=en-US}} Their debut fixture was a match against Ireland at Stebonheath Park in Llanelli. A crowd of 3,500 watched them lose 3 - 2.

For 20 years the team was organised independently of the FAW. In 1993, players Laura McAllister, Michelle Adams and Karen Jones, succeeded in persuading the FAW secretary Alun Evans that the FAW should take over the running of the women's national team.{{Cite web |last=WalesOnline |date=2003-05-07 |title=UEFA take action... by fining Wales! |url=https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/uefa-take-action-fining-wales-2484003 |access-date=2024-07-20 |website=Wales Online |language=en |archive-date=2024-07-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240720163234/https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/uefa-take-action-fining-wales-2484003 |url-status=live }}

In 2003, the FAW withdrew the team from qualifying games for UEFA Women's Euro 2005 citing the cost of travelling to Belarus, Kazakhstan, Estonia and Israel and cutbacks being needed to support Mark Hughes' men's team. The move was criticised by manager Sian Williams and player Jayne Ludlow and Wales were fined 50,000 Swss Francs by UEFA.

In 2010, Ludlow withdrew from the squad entirely{{Cite news |date=2012-10-18 |title=Arsenal's Jayne Ludlow calls time on Wales career |url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/19993529 |access-date=2024-07-20 |work=BBC Sport |language=en-GB |archive-date=2024-07-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240720163234/https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/19993529 |url-status=live }} returning only in 2012 with the appointment of Jarmo Matikainen as the first ever full time manager of the women's side.

In 2018, Wales finished second in their World Cup qualifying group for the first time ever, missing out on a playoff spot due to second place team rankings. In 2020 they missed out on a playoff spot by away goals.

Under manager Gemma Grainger, Wales reached the playoffs for qualification to 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. They beat Bosnia, but lost in extra time against Switzerland in Zurich.

On December 3, 2024, the team made history after beating the Republic of Ireland 2-1 qualifying for a first time ever to major women's tournament.{{Cite news |last=Downey |first=Sophie |date=2024-12-03 |title=Wales weather Ireland storm to reach Euro 2025 and write names in history |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/dec/03/republic-of-ireland-wales-womens-euro-2025-qualifying-playoff-second-leg-match-report |access-date=2024-12-04 |work=The Guardian |language=en-GB |issn=0261-3077}}

=Colours and logo=

The primary kit has long been all-red. The crest of the Football Association of Wales features a rampant Welsh Dragon on a white shield. From 1920, the shield was surrounded by a red border, and the letters 'FAW' were added in 1926. The badge was redesigned in 1951, adding a green border with 11 daffodils, as well as the Welsh-language motto Gorau Chwarae Cyd Chwarae ("The best play is team play"). The motto was briefly removed in 1984, but the badge stayed largely the same until 2010, when the shield was changed to feature rounded sides and the motto banner was changed from white to red and green. The dragon also changed from rampant to rampant regardant. The motto was removed again in 2019, following another major redesign of the badge, which saw the top of the shield flattened and the sides changed not to curve outwards; the green border was also thinned and the daffodils removed.{{cite web |title=A new identity for football in Wales |url=https://www.faw.cymru/en/news/new-visual-identity/ |website=faw.cymru |publisher=Football Association of Wales |date=7 August 2019 |access-date=19 March 2021 |archive-date=30 April 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210430160824/https://www.faw.cymru/en/news/new-visual-identity/ |url-status=live }}
