Real Colorado Cougars were an American women's soccer team, founded in 2000 and disestablished in February 2010.[1][2]
The team was a member of the United Soccer Leagues W-League, the second tier of women's soccer in the United States and Canada. The team played in the Western Conference against the Colorado Force, LA Strikers, Pali Blues, Santa Clarita Blue Heat, Seattle Sounders Women, Vancouver Whitecaps, and Victoria Highlanders Women.[3] From 2001–2005, the team was known as the Denver Lady Cougars, and in 2000 the team was known as the Colorado Gold.[4] The Cougars were a sibling side of the men's Real Colorado Foxes team, which joined the USL Premier Development League in 2009.[3]
Both teams were part of the Real Colorado organization, whose youth clubs survived the folding of both men's and women's adult clubs. Colorado Rush, a new W-League club founded in 2010, succeeded the Cougars as the Denver area's presence in the W-League.[1][2]
