The Dominica national football team represents the small Caribbean island nation of Dominica and is governed by the Dominica Football Association, founded in 1970. The team has been a FIFA affiliate member since 1994 and a full member of CONCACAF since the same year, competing within the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) zone.
Dominica played its very first international match in 1932 against Martinique, winning 1–0. That early promise was modest, and the team spent subsequent decades competing in regional tournaments such as the Windward Islands Tournament, which they won in 1971 — their most notable competitive honour — recording victories over Saint Vincent and Grenada while drawing with Saint Lucia.
From the 1980s onward, Dominica became a regular, if largely unsuccessful, participant in Caribbean and CONCACAF qualifying competitions. They qualified for the Caribbean Cup group stage in 1994 and 1998 but were eliminated in the first round on both occasions. Their first appearance in FIFA World Cup qualifying came in the 1998 cycle, where they defeated Antigua and Barbuda before falling to Barbados. Subsequent World Cup qualifying campaigns brought heavy defeats, most infamously a combined 18–0 loss to Mexico in the 2006 cycle.
A highlight came on 15 October 2010, when Dominica recorded their largest-ever victory, a 10–0 win over the British Virgin Islands, with striker Kurlson Benjamin netting five goals. In the current era, Dominica has participated in CONCACAF Nations League competition, appearing in Leagues B and C, which provides the team with regular competitive fixtures at an appropriate level.
