The women's national football team of Ecuador began in 1995, when the FEF scrapped together a team with players from provincial selectives and some existing clubs to compete in the South American Women's Football Championship. In 2005 a provincial selective was held, and teams were told that the winner would represent the national team. A team from Quito won, but Conmebol disqualified it as it was not a national selective. At this time no women's tournament existed neither professional nor amateur. As the base of relative success, club competition is the source to compete against national counterparts, and so as early as 2013 began the Campeonato Ecuatoriano de Futbol Femenino. With the Ministry of Sports impulsing such initiatives, the championship is mandating of at least 2 under 18 players, thinking of the Women's Sudamericano Sub 17.

The country qualified for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup after successfully winning the playoff against CONCACAF representative Trinidad and Tobago, but with only amateur and part-time players on the squad, Ecuador was thumped in three games, including the record 1–10 defeat to Switzerland. Nonetheless, Ecuador impressed in their final defeat to then-defending champions Japan, only conceded a goal in the team's 0–1 loss. Ecuador stood as the worst performed team in a FIFA Women's World Cup edition before Thailand surpassed Ecuador with an even more disastrous performance in 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup.

In 2019, the Ecuadorian Football Federation officially created the semi-professional Superliga Femenina, the first step toward moving to professional women's football for the team and a recognition for the team's growing popularity, and Ecuador's performance greatly improved in the 2022 Copa América Femenina. Nonetheless, Ecuador's lacklustre performance again hurt its campaign when the team lost three out of four, and failed to qualify for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, though Ecuador did not suffer heavy defeats as expected.
