Gillingham Women's Football Club is an English women's football club. The club compete in the and stage home matches at Chatham Town's home ground.

History

In 1995, Gillingham F.C. owner Paul Scally co-opted a local women's football team called Borstal '88.[1]

In June 2014, the team was brought back under the banner of the men's football club, Gillingham F.C., after a period as an independent outfit.[2] Following this takeover, the club became known as Gillingham Ladies and played home games at Priestfield Stadium. Simon Ratcliffe was appointed as manager, but the club was relegated after the 2014–15 season and Ratcliffe subsequently departed.[3]

In June 2020, Gillingham F.C. announced that, as a result of restructuring necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic, they would no longer operate Gillingham Ladies with immediate effect.[4] The club, sanctioned by the FA Women's National League, simultaneously announced a rebrand as Gillingham Women and would continue competing as an independent entity.[5]
