Lincoln City Women FC is an English women's football club affiliated with Lincoln City FC. The club play in the FA Women's National League Division One Midlands.

History[]

Lincoln City Women FC has evolved over the period of time since the club's inception in 2008.[citation needed] They started life as Nettleham Ladies FC and entered the Lincolnshire County Women's League in the same year. In 2009, the club won the Lincolnshire County Women's League and were promoted to East Midlands Women's Football League Division One North, where they remained until 2012.

For the start of 2012/13 season they gained promotion as league champions and were promoted to the East Midlands Women's Football League Premier Division,[1] where they competed until 2017/18 season. They clinched the title by three points, losing just one game all season. The season ended with a 7-0 victory over Grimsby Borough in the County Cup Final.

Another title winning season was followed by their first season at Tier Four of the women's football pyramid in 2018/19 and they have continued to dominate the Lincolnshire Women's Senior County Cup by winning it in each of the last six seasons.

The summer of 2019 was a landmark in the development of the Club as a successful name change[2] to Lincoln City Women FC meant a total rebranding for the 2019/20 season[3] and a change of Club colours to the famous red and white stripes.
