Men's ice hockey was introduced at the 1920 Summer Olympics and added to the Winter Olympic Games in 1924. In July 1992, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) voted to approve women's hockey as an Olympic event to first be held at the 1998 Winter Olympics. Until 1998, international women's hockey had been dominated by Canada's national team. Canadian teams had won every World Championship; by 1997, however, the American team had improved and was evenly matched with Canada. In thirteen games played between the two teams in 1997, Canada won seven and the United States six.

In a rematch between the two at the 2002 Winter Olympics, Canada won . In the 2006 Olympics, the American team advanced to the semi-finals before falling to Sweden. It marked the first time in international competition that the final would not feature the United States against Canada. The Americans defeated Finland for the bronze medal. The 2010 US team included fifteen players making their Olympic debut. The Americans again met the Canadians in the final, and in a repeat of 2002, the Canadians took the gold, giving the Americans their second silver. The Canadians again won gold in Sochi at the 2014 Winter Olympics in a overtime win against the US team. In 2018, at the Olympic Winter Games in PyeongChang, South Korea, the US defeated Canada in the gold medal game, winning in a shootout. In the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, the US lost the gold medal game to Canada, by a score of .

The United States has won two gold medals, four silver medals, and one bronze medal in women's hockey at the Winter Games.
