The club moved from the Home Counties League, and instead participated in the Greater London Regional Women's League Division One. Here, they finished in third place behind Friends of Fulham and Millwall Lionesses. The following season would see the introduction of the WFA National League, the first time a nationwide Women's Football League would be implemented in England. With the top two sides qualifying for the Premier Division, Arsenal were instead placed in the Southern Division, missing out on the Premier Division by one point. Arsenal also played in the FA Cup, where they made history by playing their first ever match at Highbury in a Quarter Final replay against Davies Argyle.2019-07-09 Arsenal v Nottingham Forest – Football League Division One, Wednesday March 20th 1991 https://thearsenalcollection.org.uk/?page_id=9845 2026-05-04 The Arsenal Collection en-GB The team progressed to the Semi Finals for the first time in their history.
