Arsenal begin defense of their Women's League Cup title in January, away to Brighton & HA
Yesterday at 02:00 PM
Arsenal Women have a rich history in the Women's League Cup, establishing themselves as the most successful team in the competition's history. Our Gunners have won the trophy a record seven times since its inception in 2011 – more than any other club.
Arsenal's success in the League Cup began with the inaugural tournament in 2011, where they defeated Birmingham City 4-1 in the final. This victory was part of an unprecedented treble, as Arsenal had already claimed the league title and Women's FA Cup that season.
Our Gunners continued their dominance in the early years of the competition, winning three consecutive titles from 2011 to 2013, with Arsenal legends like Ellen White, Rachel Yankey, and Jayne Ludlow contributing to their success.
After a brief period without League Cup success, Arsenal returned to winning ways in the 2017/18 season, defeating Manchester City 1-0 in the final.
Arsenal's most recent League Cup triumphs came in the last two consecutive years:
2022/23: Arsenal defeated Chelsea 3-1 in the final.
2023/24: The Gunners retained their title with a dramatic 1-0 extra-time victory over Chelsea, thanks to a late goal from Stina Blackstenius.
The Women's Professional Leagues have now confirmed details for the four quarter final ties of the 2024/25 Subway Women's League Cup.
