During the 2016/17 season, Cheltenham won the GFA County Cup in a 5-4 penalty shootout against St Nicholas Ladies Football Club.[5] They later won the GFA Cup again during the 2018/19 season, with a 10–0 victory over Frampton Rangers Football club.[6] This was also the season in which they were nominated for FA WNL Club of the year.[7][8]
