History

[edit]

The Australia women's B team first played in 1989, participating in the 1989 OFC Women's Championship alongside Australia A, Chinese Taipei, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea. They finished fourth out of five spots advancing to the third place play-off against Australia A, which was cancelled due to a waterlogged pitch.[3]

The team entered the 1999 Australia Cup at the classification stages, taking part in the third place play-off match against Canada which was lost 1–0. This is currently Australia B's last match played.[citation needed]
