The Philippines women's national ice hockey team is the national women's ice hockey team of the Philippines.
History The women's national team of the Philippines made its international debut at the 2017 IIHF Women's Challenge Cup of Asia in Bangkok, Thailand. The team was mentored by Filipino head coach John Steven Füglister at the tournament.
In 2018, the Philippines competed in the Division I tournament of the 2018 IIHF Women's Challenge Cup of Asia in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The team finished in third place, ahead of the India and behind the first-place host Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates. The squad's head coach for this tournament was Hector Navasero.
The team improved its performance in the 2019 edition hosted in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, clinching the Division I title after a 2–1 victory over the host United Arab Emirates in the final. The team was coached by Carl Montano. With the win, they secured promotion to the top division.
The Challenge Cup of Asia was scheduled to be held at home in Metro Manila in 2020. However, the COVID-19 pandemic led to the tournament's cancellation and forced the national team into a hiatus that lasted a few years. Half of the squad that last played in 2019 had since left.
Having skipped the tournament—now known as the Women's Asia Cup—in 2023, the Philippines returned to competitive play in the 2024 edition, where it finished as silver medalist. In the 2025 edition, the Philippines won their first ever gold.
They will debut at the SEA Games in the 2025 edition where women's ice hockey will be contested for the first time.
