The British Virgin Islands national football team is the national team of the British Virgin Islands and is controlled by the British Virgin Islands Football Association. A member of CONCACAF, it is among its weakest teams. In the qualifying rounds for the 2006 World Cup they had a quite tough draw against St Lucia, and they were eliminated 10-0 on aggregate. [1]

In the qualifying rounds for the 2010 World Cup they were paired with the Bahamas. They put in a much improved performance but lost 3-3 due to the away goals rule. [2]
