China women's team won silver medals at the 1996 Summer Olympics and the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup. It also has won 9 titles at Asian Cup and 3 Gold medals at Asian Games.

Nicknamed the Steel Roses (Chinese: 铿锵玫瑰), they won several international titles in the 1990s, during the Golden Generation. The team lost some pace in the continent to the national teams of Japan and Australia after the start of the 21st century although in 2023, the team was ranked as the 15th best in the world and also won the ninth AFC Asian Cup in their story, the first since 2006.
