History

Founded in 1991, the club began in the West Midlands Regional League. In 1997 Coventry City 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.^[1]
