Mongolia's opening game as a full national side went 64–68 to Hong Kong, a narrow loss on September 23, 2014, at the Asian Games in Incheon. What followed, against the region's established powers, was often lopsided: a 124–41 defeat to South Korea that same year, and a 110–36 loss to China four years later. Eighth place in both 2014 and 2018, then tenth in 2022, with China and South Korea the opponents most responsible for the margins.
The clearer measure of progress came in 2025, in a tier below the continent's elite. In the FIBA Women's Asia Cup Division B, the Blue Wolves reached the semifinals before losing the third-place match to Thailand, 73–78, for a fourth-place finish — still the best result in the competition's history for Mongolia.
Basketball in Mongolia has found more traction in the 3x3 format, where players from the women's pool have reached an Olympic Games and won medals at the Asian Games. The team trains and plays at the MBank Arena in Ulaanbaatar.
Among those who have carried the 5x5 side, Bayartsetseg Ganbat stands out for a single afternoon in 2018: in the seventh-eighth place match at the Asian Games, she scored 23 points.
