History

The club was formed in 1989 as 'Cheltenham YMCA'.[4] They started out in the South West Combination League, but their first team was eventually promoted to the FA Women's Premier League in the 2013/14 season.[2]

During the 2016/17 season, Cheltenham won the GFA County Cup in a 5-4 penalty shootout against St Nicholas Ladies Football Club.[5] They later won the GFA Cup again during the 2018/19 season, with a 10-0 victory over Frampton Rangers Football club.[6] This was also the season in which they were nominated for FA WNL Club of the year.[7][8]
