Alongside a Senior Men’s Team that has played more games in English football's top flight than any other, Everton Women have been a leading light in driving forward the professionalism of the women’s game. 
 
With roots that go back to the mid-1980s, Everton Women were formally established in 1995 and won the English league title just three seasons later. 

League runners-up five times in the following decade, the team also won two Women's FA Cups and a Women's League Cup before proudly becoming one of the eight founder members of the Women's Super League in 2011.
