FA Women's Cup

The Football Association Women's Challenge Cup Competition, commonly referred to as the FA Women's Cup, is the top cup competition for women's football clubs in England - designed as an exact equivalent to the FA Cup. Arsenal won the 2004 competition, beating Charlton Athletic 3-0 in the final on May 3. On May 2 2005, Charlton Athletic made amends for the disappointment of the two previous years, by beating Everton 1-0. Arsenal regained the trophy on May 1, 2006, beating Leeds United 5-0.

In recent years the final of the tournament has been covered by BBC TV and BBC Radio Five Live.
