The 2024\/25 Women’s Super League (WSL<\/strong>) ended with Chelsea winning their 2nd ever Domestic Treble<\/a> after their 1st in 2021 and Arsenal winning the Champions League<\/a> for the 2nd time ever after their 1st in 2007.<\/p>\n

If you are new to the women’s game in England (especially following the Lionesses winning the European Championship in 2022<\/a>), why not download my spreadsheet listing all trophy winners since 1992 to find out which teams are the GOATs of English women’s football?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My spreadsheet English Club Records – Football – Women – 2025 – v1.0<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0i<\/span><\/span>s up<\/span> to date as of end of May 2025.\u00a0 All data in this has been sourced from Wikipedia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The spreadsheet has a number of sheets which I will now explain in more detail.\u00a0 Please note that all sheets are protected but there is no password if you want to unprotect a sheet.<\/p>\n

Data1992-2025England<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

This sheet lists all winners of the 3 main domestic trophies in England i.e. Women’s Super League<\/a> (Premier League National until 2010), FA Cup and League Cup (started 2011)<\/a>.\u00a0 The 1st season shown is 19991\/92<\/strong> which is the year the Premier League National started.\u00a0 The Women’s FA Cup began in 1970<\/a> but I have ignored winners before 1992 partly because the FA only took over the management of the competition in 1993.\u00a0 I have also shown the runner ups in all competitions as I think that can be useful in identifying the good teams of the past.<\/p>\n

The 2016\/17<\/strong> & 2019\/20<\/strong> WSL seasons are asterisked in red.\u00a0 This is because 2017 marked the transition of the WSL from a summer season, which had been the case from 2011 to 2016, to a winter season like that for men.\u00a0 As a result a complete season was not played and no League Cup took place.\u00a0 2020 is marked as a result of the COVID19 pandemic which halted all sport.\u00a0 The 2020 WSL season was not resumed and Chelsea were declared champions on a points per game basis.<\/p>\n

The sheet also shows any English club that played in a European Champions League final<\/a>.\u00a0 This began as the UEFA Women’s Cup in 2001 and was renamed UEFA Champions League in 2009.\u00a0 Currently there is no equivalent UEFA tournament for the Europa League and Conference League for women.<\/p>\n

Finally winners of various doubles are shown.\u00a0 Treble winners are not shown but can be spotted if they appear as multiple double winners in the same year e.g. Arsenal in 2011, Chelsea in 2021 & 2025.<\/p>\n

RankingsEngland<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

This sheet allows you to see which teams were the best in any time period.\u00a0 To do this, change the years shown in cells A1<\/strong> (From year) and B1<\/strong> (To year).\u00a0 You can then sort by any of the columns to find out which team was top.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

By the way, the 22 teams listed above are the only teams to have won trophies or been runner up since 1992.<\/p>\n

For each team, I have counted how many times the team won the relevant trophy or was a runner up.\u00a0 Columns D to T should be obvious but I have added some further statistics in columns V to Z.\u00a0 These are explained below:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Number of SUMMITS<\/strong> reached i.e. number of League Titles and Women’s Cups\/Champion Leagues won.\u00a0 For any club, these two competitions represent the summit of achievement that a club can reach and history generally looks at these when describing great teams of the past.<\/li>\n
  2. Number of TROPHIES<\/strong> won.\u00a0 Silverware is what all fans crave but I am only considering the 4 trophies recorded in Data1992-2024England<\/strong>.\u00a0 Other minor & one-off trophies are not counted.<\/li>\n
  3. Number of POINTS<\/strong> won.\u00a0 Not all trophies are equally regarded.\u00a0 At the same time, when considering GOATs, I do think consideration should be given to runner up spots.\u00a0 After all, in an FA Cup final between two equally matched teams, anything can happen and luck does play a part.\u00a0 For non-Summit trophies, I give 3<\/strong> points to a winner and 1<\/strong> point to a runner up.\u00a0 For summit trophies I double these points i.e. 6<\/strong> points to a winner and 2<\/strong> points to a runner up.\u00a0 However, you can change these points by editing the relevant yellow cells in row 1<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  4. Number of Wins & Runner ups which I denote as ALL.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. RECORD<\/strong> which is a summary of a team’s record using the format “Sw – Tw | Sr – Tr<\/strong>“.\u00a0 Sw<\/strong> is the number of summits reached and Tw<\/strong> is the number of other trophies won (excluding summits).\u00a0 Sr<\/strong> is the number of runner ups to summits and Tr<\/strong> is the number of runner ups to other trophies (excluding summits).\u00a0 So Chelsea now has an overall record of 7-7 | 3-4 since they’ve won 7 league titles, 7 FA Cups and were runner up twice in the league & once in the Champions League and have lost 4 other cup finals.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    GOATsEngland<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

    This is a summary of the top teams for two different eras as below.\u00a0 All data comes from the RankingsEngland<\/strong> sheet but this sheet is not updated automatically.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. 1992-today (All Time)<\/strong>: The 1st League championship was created in 1991.<\/li>\n
    2. 2011-today (WSL Era)<\/strong>: The WSL and League Cups started in 2011.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      By the way, you may find this earlier post of mine about GOATs (Greatest Of All Time) of interest<\/a>.\u00a0 It is where I first came up with the graphic below.<\/p>\n
