Manchester City is an English professional association football club based in Manchester, who currently play in the FA WSL. The list covers the period from 1988, when the club was founded, to the present day. It details the club's achievements in senior league and cup competitions, and the top scorers for each season where information is available.

Background

Manchester City were formed in 1988, though they did not join an organised competition until the following year when they were admitted to the North West Women's Regional Football League. The club would make steady progress upwards until the season, when they would take the Premier League Northern Division title and were promoted to the WPL National, then the highest level of semi-pro football attainable in England, and only below the closed shop FA WSL. City were admitted to the WSL in 2014, coinciding with their decision to turn professional, and the move would ultimately be rewarded with their first senior silverware the same season.

Footnotes

  • Despite being promoted, Manchester City fell from the second tier of women's football to the third tier due to the creation of a new national league (the FA Women's Premier League) with two tiers
  • The North West Women's Regional Football League Division One was renamed the Premier Division. It moved from being the third tier of women's football to the fourth tier due to the creation of the Northern Combination, an intermediate regional league between the NWWRFL and the Women's Premier League
  • The Women's Premier League Northern Division moved from being the second tier of women's football to the third tier due to the creation of the FA Women's Super League
  • Promoted to the WSL via means of application upon league expansion
