Their first qualification campaign came in 2014 for the AFC Women's Asian Cup, where they recorded their largest victory to date, a 12–1 win over Kuwait.

[2] Decades later, in 1998,[3] the AUB formed its first official women's football team, playing their inaugural match against Notre Dame University–Louaize (NDU) in February 1999.

[4] Other institutions, such as the American Community School Beirut (ACS) and the International College (IC),[5] also established women's teams, culminating in the first interscholastic girls' football tournament in 2002.

[6] This development paved the way for the creation of the Lebanon women's national team, known as "the Lady Cedars" (Arabic: صبايا الأرز).

[10] Their first WAFF Women's Championship campaign was in 2007; after two 3–0 losses, first against Jordan and then against Iran, Lebanon beat Syria 7–0 thanks to a hat-trick by Iman Chaito,[11] and finished in third place in the tournament.

[18] In November 2018, Lebanon made their debut in Olympic qualifiers, suffering heavy defeats to Iran (8–0)[19] and Hong Kong (4–0); they were eliminated from the first round.

Under coach Wael Gharzeddine, Lebanon competed in the 2019 WAFF Women's Championship in January, finishing third after wins against the UAE (2–0)[21] and Palestine (3–0),[7] alongside defeats to Jordan (3–1)[22] and hosts Bahrain (3–2).

[23] In August 2021, Lebanon participated in the Arab Women's Cup, securing their first-ever draw[24] (0–0 against Tunisia)[25] and a 5–1 victory over Sudan,[26] though they fell to hosts Egypt 4–0.

[26] Later that year, in October, Lebanon entered the 2022 AFC Women's Asian Cup qualifiers, defeating the UAE[28] and Guam[29] but falling short of qualification after a 4–0 loss to Myanmar.

[30] The team achieved a milestone in the 2022 WAFF Women's Championship under coach Hagop Demirjian,[31] finishing as runners-up for the first time.
