History

Papua New Guinea have participated all three times so far in the OFC U-17 Women's Championship. They managed to get a second spot twice, in 2012 and in 2016. In the first tournament, in 2010, they became third. Georgina Kaikas scored Papua New Guinea's first ever goal in the tournament. She did this on April 12, 2010 in a 4–0 victory against Tonga women's national under-17 football team. She managed to score four goals in total. However, with this number she is not the top goal scorer of the country cause in 2016 Belinda Giada scored seven goals.
