The Brazil women's national football team represents Brazil in international women's football.
The team finished the 1999 World Cup in the third place. In 1998 and 1999, the team was the runner-up of the Women's U.S. Cup.
Brazil finished the 2000 Olympic Games in the fourth place, and was the runner-up of the 2004 Olympic Games.
In 2002 and in 2004, Brazil women's U-20 national football team was the fourth placed team in the FIFA U-20 Women's World Championship.
Brazil is the most successful women's national team in South America, having won the first four South-American Championships disputed so far. The rise of Argentina as a rival, as in the men's game, was highlighted in the recent South American Championship, where the Canarinhas were defeated in the final.
