The Costa Rica women's national futsal team (Spanish: selección de futsal femenino de Costa Rica) represents Costa Rica in international women's futsal, and is controlled by the governing body Costa Rican Football Federation.

Costa Rica established its women's national futsal team in September 2012.[2] Three months later, the team made its international debut at the 2012 Women's Futsal World Tournament in Portugal. On December 3, 2012, Las Ticas played their first match against Ukraine in Oliveira de Azeméis, suffering a 2–0 defeat.[3][4] After finishing fourth in the group stage, the team faced Iran in the 7th-place match, where they suffered a defeat, ending the tournament in second-to-last place.[5][6]

With no official women's futsal competition, the Costa Rican team only participated in the Women's Futsal World Tournament and played friendlies against Guatemala and Nicaragua. Their best finish was fourth place when they hosted the tournament in San José 2014.[7][8]

Following the launch of the FIFA Futsal Women's World Cup in 2024, Costa Rica confirmed their participation in the CONCACAF qualification process in November of the same year, aiming for a place in the tournament.[9]
