In 1997, Pakistan hosted a four-nation Golden Jubilee Tournament, with Azerbaijan, China, and Singapore also attending. The home team finished last.[2]
In 2003, Pakistan finished fourth in the second edition of the Women's AHF Cup held in Singapore. It participated in the qualifiers for the 2006 Asian Games, and secured the fourth position. In 2012, Pakistan stood sixth in the third edition of the Women's AHF Cup.[2] In September 2013, Pakistan finished fourth in the Asian Women’s Challenge Cup held in Bangkok, Thailand.[4]
Pakistan qualified for the semi-final place at the 2016 Women's AHF Cup held in Bangkok, Thailand.[5] However, it lost 5–1 against Thailand, and then finished fourth.
