Oxford United Women's Football Club is an English women's football club affiliated with Oxford United, and founded as Oxford Ladies F.C. in the 1991–92 season. Although there were earlier women's football clubs playing in the Oxfordshire area with an Oxford name, the 1991–92 season represents the inaugural season of Oxford Ladies F.C.,[2] which would go on to be formally affiliated to Oxford United F.C. just one year later.[3] On affiliation to the men's club before the 1992–93 football season, Oxford Ladies changed their name to Oxford United Ladies to maintain a one-club ethos. Whilst initially playing at Witney Town's Marriotts Stadium, the first women's football match played at The Manor Ground was against Horsham Ladies F.C. on 25 October 1992[3] and this was also the first Oxford United women's team match to be televised on Central Television.
The success of Oxford United Women's F.C. is recognised and promoted by Oxford United.[4]
