Crystal Palace - Femenino

The club was formed in 1992 as Crystal Palace Ladies F.C.. Since 2003, the club has risen up England's football pyramid, winning the South East Combination Women's Football League in 2003–04, and they later achieved their first cup success defeating Chelsea in the Surrey FA County Cup final in 2011. Palace won the London and South East Women's Regional Football League title in 2013–14, gaining promotion to the FA Women's National League regional section. They won the South East Division One title in 2015–16, after going the whole season undefeated. The club also won the Surrey FA County Cup that same season against AFC Wimbledon in the final.

In 2018, Palace were given semi-professional status, and secured a Tier 2 license, allowing them to become a founding member of the FA Women's Championship, the second highest tier in women’s football. The club announced in 2019, it would play as "Crystal Palace FC" instead of "Crystal Palace Ladies F.C.", following the growing trend within the women's game to move away from the term "Ladies".

Following mixed results in their first three years in the Women's Championship, Palace recorded back-to-back top-five finishes in the 2021–22 and 2022–23 seasons.In the summer of 2023, the club appointed Grace Williams, as Head of Women’s Football, and Laura Kaminski, as Head Coach.

After the club officially became part of the CPFC Limited group in June 2022, they received full professional status in 2023, followed by the securing of a Tier 1 license in April 2024, which would allow their eventual entry into the Women's Super League (WSL).

At the end of the 2023–24 Championship season, the club was promoted to the Women's Super League as champions, scoring 55 goals – and conceding just 20 – in 22 matches. This marked Palace’s inaugural promotion to the top-flight of women’s football. The promotion was sealed with a final-day draw against Sunderland at Selhurst Park, in front of a record crowd of 6,796.
