TheIraq women's national football team is the female representativefootball team forIraq.^[3]

The Iraq women's team has its roots infutsal, a game with some similarities to football, played on an indoor court. Futsal has been more accessible to women in Iraq than football, and theIraq Football Association has organized futsal tournaments with the intention to develop some of the players into football players.^[4]

The team played its first international match in 2010. Iraq's first participation in a women's major football tournament was the2018 AFC Women's Asian Cup qualification.^[5]

The following is a list of match results in the last 12 months, as well as any future matches that have been scheduled.
