History

edit

A women's football club connected to Barnsley F.C. had run since the 1980s, but severed ties with the men's team in 2018 to become Barnsley W.F.C. Affiliated with the men's club, the new ladies team was announced on 18 June 2020,[1] and were placed in the Sheffield & Hallamshire Division One for their inaugural season.[2] The season was abandoned due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the club were granted promotion to the North East Regional Division One South.[3]

Barnsley won the 2022–23 North East Regional Division One South, and were promoted to the North East Regional Premier Division.[4] In May 2023, Barnsley further integrated the club, including a name change to Barnsley Football Club Women.[5] The club achieved successive promotions after winning the 2023–24 North East Regional Premier Division, and were promoted to the FA National League.[6]
