Wikipedia - Women's FA Cup

The Women's FA Challenge Cup is the top annual cup tournament for women's clubs in English football. Founded in 1970, it has been named the WFA Cup, FA Women's Cup, and now Women's FA Cup (currently known as the Adobe Women's FA Cup for sponsorship reasons).

Designed as an equivalent to the FA Cup in men's football, the competition began in 1970–71 as the Mitre Challenge Trophy, organised by the Women's Football Association (WFA). There were 71 entrants, including teams from Scotland and Wales.

The WFA ran the competition for the first 23 editions, during which time Southampton won the cup eight times. The Football Association (FA) began administering English women's football in mid-1993.

Arsenal holds the record for most titles overall, having won fourteen times. The current cup holders are Manchester United, who defeated Tottenham Hotspur 4–0 in the 2024 final to win their first FA Cup title.

History

Previous national cup competitions included the English Ladies Football Association Challenge Cup in 1922, won by Stoke Ladies.

The first women's Mitre Challenge Trophy matches were played in 1970, and the first final was held on 9 May 1971 at Crystal Palace National Sports Centre. The WFA was initially named the Ladies Football Association of Great Britain, and Scottish clubs were successful in reaching the first three finals of this tournament (albeit as runners-up). Two of these clubs were runners-up in England while also winning the Scottish Women's Cup in the same season, Stewarton Thistle in 1971 and Westthorn United in 1973.

Southampton Women's F.C. won eight of the first 11 WFA Cup competitions.

Doncaster Belles reached nearly every final between 1982–83 and 1993–94, and won the trophy six times.

The England FA Cup Women is one of the premier knockout competitions in women's football, showcasing the talent and passion of female athletes across the country. Established in 1993, the tournament features teams from various tiers of the English football league system, including both professional and amateur clubs.

Each year, the FA Cup Women captivates fans with thrilling matches, dramatic upsets, and unforgettable moments as teams compete for the prestigious trophy. The tournament begins with preliminary rounds, where lower-division clubs have the opportunity to face off against higher-ranked opponents, often leading to exciting and unpredictable outcomes.

As the competition progresses, the stakes get higher, culminating in a grand final held at a historic venue, where the top two teams battle for glory. The FA Cup Women not only highlights the skill and determination of players but also promotes the growth of women's football in England, inspiring future generations of athletes.

With a rich history and a commitment to excellence, the England FA Cup Women is a celebration of the sport, uniting fans and communities in support of their teams as they strive for cup success.
