The Australia women's national soccer B team (often referred to as Australia Gold) is a secondary women's soccer team as support for the Australia women's national soccer team. They have played nine matches in their history and has been inactive since January 1999.[1] [2]
The Australia women's B team first played in 1989, participating in the 1989 OFC Women's Championship alongside Australia A, Chinese Taipei, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea. They finished fourth out of five spots advancing to the third place play-off against Australia A, which was cancelled due to a waterlogged pitch.[3]
The team entered the 1999 Australia Cup at the classification stages, taking part in the third place play-off match against Canada which was lost 1–0.
In July 2024, as part of the preparation for the 2024 Summer Olympics, Australia played a match against Canada which was classified as a 'B' friendly to allow both teams unlimited substitutions.[4] This is currently Australia B's last match played.
