The 1991–92 Women's National League Cup was a football competition in England organised by the Women's Football Association. It was the first edition[1][2] of the present FA Women's National League Cup, later run by the Football Association and renamed the Women's Premier League Cup.

The Cup included top-flight clubs from the 1991–92 WFA National League Premier Division but was won by a second tier club, Arsenal, from the Southern Division.[3]

Arsenal Ladies became the first English women's League Cup winners, the team's first major trophy.[3] The final was held at Alt Park, Knowsley, on 24 May 1992.[1] Arsenal defeated Millwall Lionesses 1–0, with a 28th-minute goal by Naz Ball.[4]
