The 2018 FA Women's Cup final was the 48th final of the FA Women's Cup, England's primary cup competition for women's football teams. The showpiece event was the 25th to be played directly under the auspices of the Football Association (FA) and was named the SSE Women's FA Cup Final due to sponsorship reasons.
The final was contested between Arsenal Ladies and Chelsea Ladies on 5 May 2018 at Wembley Stadium in London. The match was broadcast on BBC1.[1] Chelsea won the match 3–1 in front of a record crowd of 45,423 to clinch their second title.[2] As their men's counterpart won the 2017–18 FA Cup, Chelsea became the third club, after Southampton and Arsenal, to win both the men's and women's FA Cup in the same season.
