The team is controlled by the Philippine Football Federation (PFF), the governing body of football in the Philippines.

History In 2004, Philippines U-19 first participated in the 2004 AFC U-19 Women's Championship in a 3–0 win against Guam on May 26, 2004. The team however did not advance to qualify in the 2004 FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship.

In 2025, the Philippine Football Federation (PFF) decided not to participate in the 2025 ASEAN U-19 Women's Championship and the 2026 AFC U-20 Women's Asian Cup qualification. The move drew criticism from fans and football community who described it as “wasting the dreams, sacrifices, and efforts” of the youth team and that “the opportunity to build a better pool for the senior team is lost.”
