The first tournament was played in Zanzibar in 1986 and won by the host team. After that there was no tournament for the next thirty years. The try for reviving the women's championship in the CECAFA region had been attempted in Zanzibar for October 2007. But the tournament was cancelled and never played. The next edition then was proposed for 2016.
That 2016 edition was hosted by Uganda and played in Jinja. There were no other bids to host the tournament. Tanzania won the championship and also Burundi were playing their first official FIFA recognized games ever.
The 2018 edition was again won by Tanzania.
