Six years after their debut at the IHF Women's World Championship, Puerto Rico are once again among the tournament participants, and their primary goal is to prove that they belong to this level. 

In 2015, the Caribbean team won only one of seven matches at the event, against Kazakhstan, and finished 20th. The tournament in Denmark was sometimes a harsh lesson for the Puerto Ricans, who lost by more than 25 goals in each of the games against European sides Romania, Norway, Russia and Spain, as well as against Japan.
