In both of these tournament they managed to get a draw: a 0-0 against Papua New Guinea and a 1-1 against Melanesian rivals Vanuatu. They suffered there biggest loss in 2004: a 13-0 loss against Australia. So far the Solomon Islands under-20 team has never won a single game. However, in 2019 they will get a new chance as they will participate again.
