The Gibraltar women's volleyball team made its international debut in September 1987 at the Island Games held in Guernsey.

The Gibraltarian finished 2nd in their preliminary group, and lost to the Aland Islands team for the bronze medal match.

Later the Gibraltar team participated in most of the volleyball tournaments of these multi-sport competitions, but did not manage to win any medal.

In 1992, the tournament was held in Gibraltar, where the home team won silver medal.

In 2006, the Gibraltarian hosted one of the group stages of the European Championship qualifying tournament (Small Countries Division) Zone, but they were defeated by the teams of Liechtenstein and Luxembourg, losing both matches with a score of 0:3 and failing to score more than 11 points in any of the 6 sets played.
