The United States first fielded a women's deaf soccer team to compete in the 2005 Summer Deaflympics in Australia, the first year the sport was played at the tournament, and they won the gold medal with a 3–0 win over Russia in the title game.[2] [3] The team defended the title at the 2009 Deaflympics in Taiwan, beating Germany 4–0 in the final with all second-half goals.[4] They won the World Deaf Football Championships for the first time at the 2012 tournament in Turkey, beating Russia 1–0 in the final.[5] The team won its third Deaflympics in a row at the 2013 tournament in Bulgaria, conceding its only goal of the event in the 2–1 win over Russia in the final.[6] The United States faced Russia again in the final of the 2016 World Championships in Italy, beating them 3–0 to win the title.[7]
The team recorded its first non-win with a 2–2 draw to Poland in the final of the 2021 Deaflympics in Brazil (held in 2022), but won the title 4–2 on penalties.[8] Along with the US Deaf Men's National Team, the women's team also came under the umbrella of the United States Soccer Federation as one of its extended national teams in 2022.[9] The team won the 2023 World Championships in Malaysia, beating Turkey 3–0 in the final.[10] The team played a friendly doubleheader alongside the United States women's national team in Colorado on June 1, 2024, which marked the team's first international game on home soil.[11]
