The Lithuanian national women's football team represents the Baltic state of Lithuania in international women's football . The national team is subordinate to the Lithuanian Football Association and is coached by Rimantas Viktoravičius.

So far, the team has not qualified for any international tournament. The best place in the FIFA world rankings was 60th place, which was occupied several times between December 2004 and November 2006. In recent years, the team has slipped significantly and in July 2011 reached 82nd place, the worst place to date. The 17-0 loss to Scotland is one of the biggest losses for a European team.

Most of the games were played against the Baltic neighbors Estonia and Latvia . So far there have been no games against Germany , Austria and Switzerland .

In the pre-qualification for the EM 2013 , the team took second place in the group at the tournament in Macedonia and thus could not qualify for the actual qualification.

In the pre-qualification for the 2015 World Cup , the team only took the last place in the group at the tournament in their own country and was therefore unable to qualify for the actual qualification.

In qualifying for the European Championship in 2021 , the Lithuanians lost the first five games and are the first team with three games left to have no chance to qualify for the finals.
