The Netherlands women's national football team (Nederlands vrouwenvoetbalelftal) is directed by the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB), which is a member of UEFA and FIFA.
In 1971, the team played the first women's international football match recognized by FIFA against France. They played at the final tournament of the UEFA Women's Championship three times and were champions in 2017 as hosts. They qualified for the World Cup twice, reaching the final of the 2019 edition of the World Cup, losing 2–0 against the United States. The result of the 2019 World Cup meant that the Netherlands team qualified for 2020 Olympics where they lost in the quarter-finals.
The Netherlands was one of a number of European countries where women's football was banned for a long time, and received scepticism afterwards. The team has grown in popularity during and after their surprise victory on home soil at the 2017 Euro's.
The nicknames for the team are Oranje (Orange) and Leeuwinnen (Lionesses). Andries Jonker has been head coach since the conclusion of the UEFA Women's Euro 2022. As of August 2022, the team is ranked number 6 in the FIFA Women's World Rankings.
