The Poland women's national football team represents Poland in international women's football, and is governed by the Polish Football Association, the governing body for football in Poland. Having played their inaugural game in 1981, the team have attempted to qualify for each major tournament from UEFA Women's Euro 1991 onwards. They have clinched their first successful qualification for a major tournament, the UEFA Women's Euro 2025, after two wins over Austria in the second round of the qualifying play-offs.

History

Poland was one of the earliest nations in Europe to begin developing women's football, having fielded its female team for the first time in 1981, for a friendly against Italy away. Poland's debut ended with a 0–3 defeat in Catania. Since its inception, Poland has little success at the international stage, and has failed to qualify for any major tournament, although the team has come close in several occasions. This has been largely due to most of its female footballers are not professional, many Polish female footballers are part-timers, unlike the far more successful men's counterparts. Despite their part-time status, the fact that the team has seen its rise in fortune since 2010s, having come very close in qualifying for UEFA Women's Euro 2013, 2022, as well as the 2011, 2015 and 2023 FIFA Women's World Cups were seen as signs of potential growth of the women's team. Since late 2010s, more efforts have been put in order to give the women's national team more recognition. After failing to qualify for the UEFA Women's Euro 2022, the PZPN has undertaken the step to bid for the UEFA Women's Euro 2025, with the establishment of a separate women's football department, while the domestic women's league of Poland, Ekstraliga, is also moving toward establishing full-time professionalism in undisclosed dates. In 2024, Poland failed to score a point during their UEFA Euro 2025 qualifying run. Thanks to winning their 2023–24 UEFA Nations League group and therefore qualifying to the top division of qualifying, they were ensured of a play-off spot for the tournament. After winning both play-off legs against Romania in October, and their first game against Austria the following month, Poland sealed their first-ever qualification to a major event on 3 December with a 1–0 win (2–0 on agg.) against the Austrians.
