The 1994–95 season of the FA Women's Premier League was the fourth season of national top-flight league women's football in England. It was the first season under FA Premier League branding[1] after the WFA Women's National League was founded in 1991–92.[2]
Below the FA Women's Premier League National Division were the Northern and Southern Divisions.
The 1993–94 double-winners Doncaster Belles and League Cup winners Arsenal Ladies continued their rivalry in the National Division. Arsenal won their "fiercely contested" early-season match 3–0 with goals by Sammy Britton, Rebecca Lonergan and Jo Churchman.[3]
At the end of 1994–95, Arsenal won their second title and equalled Doncaster's two championships at that point.[1] The runners-up were Liverpool Ladies, renamed in 1994 and previously known as Knowsley United. The 1991–92 runner-up club were relegated, Red Star Southampton.
The season did not finish on time, according to The Independent in August 1995: "The Football Association doesn't help much. It took over the national team two years ago, and the administration of the domestic game last season - which then shambolically overran, ending six weeks late.".[1]
