Home colours

Coventry United Ladies Football Club is an English women's football club affiliated with Coventry United F.C.. Originally founded in 1921, but the current club was reformed in 1991 and affiliated with Coventry City F.C.. However, on 4 July 2015 it was announced that they'd merged with Coventry United, a local non-league side only two years old at the time.^[1] They currently play in the FA Women's Premier League Southern Division following a rationalisation of the FA Premier League resulting from the FA's decision to dismantle the National Division to support the creation of a 2nd tier to the Women's Super League (summer)

The club also comprises youth teams at u-11, u-13, u-15, u-16, u18 and a reserve team.

History

Founded in 1991, the club began in the West Midlands Regional League. In 1997, as Coventry City, they were promoted into the FA Women's Premier League Northern Division, where they stayed until relegation in 2002.

In 2002–03 the club developed closer relations with Coventry City F.C. while revamping and expanding the youth centre of excellence. In 2004 the club were promoted back to the FA Women's Premier League Northern Division, but lasted only a season at the higher level.

After three consecutive runners-up finishes, Coventry won the Midland Combination again in 2010 – scoring 66 goals in 22 league games.^[2]

The club played at Coventry University Sports and Conference Centre, Westwood Heath and at Coventry Sphinx FC, before moving to the Oval, Bedworth. In August 2014 it was announced that the club would be moving to the Ricoh Arena in Coventry for the 2014–15 season.^[3]

However, midway through the 2014–15 season, Coventry Ladies were forced out of the Ricoh Arena after the arrival of Wasps RFC to the Ricoh. They found themselves playing at the Bedworth Oval once again.
