Chelsea have won the Women’s FA Cup six times in total, with all of our wins achieved in the last 10 years. Here we look back at those triumphs in the prestigious competition.
2015
This was our first piece of silverware and, fittingly, it arrived after the first-ever Women’s FA Cup final to be held at Wembley Stadium.
In front of a then-record crowd of 30,710, Ji So-Yun scored the only goal of the game from close range just before half-time to see off opponents Notts County.
The victory was built on a strong defensive record that year, as we only conceded one goal during the entire FA Cup run.
2018
We got our hands on the FA Cup for the second time three years later. On this occasion, we faced Arsenal, and the match was played in front of another record crowd at Wembley Stadium (45,423).
After a cagey first half, Ramona Bachmann fired a shot high into the roof of the net to give us the lead three minutes after the restart. Then, with an hour gone, we took control of the game when Bachmann netted her second: her superb strike deflected into the top corner.
The Gunners hit back through Vivianne Miedema, but super Fran Kirby sealed the 3-1 win with a curled effort.
2021
A dominant Blues side secured our third Women’s FA Cup trophy in 2021, and completed our first-ever domestic Treble in the process.
By the time the Covid-impacted final was played in December 2021, the Blues had long sewn up the WSL title and the League Cup the previous season. Yet an impressive performance saw us, again, beat Arsenal at Wembley.
Kirby broke the deadlock after just three minutes, pouncing on a defensive error to score. She and Sam Kerr then struck the crossbar in the opening period as we piled on the pressure.
That eventually told in the second half as, in the 57th minute, Kerr turned Gunners defender Lotte Wubben-Moy inside out and found the back of the net with a low finish.
She sealed the victory with an audacious – and now iconic – chip over Manuela Zinsberger with 13 minutes of normal time to play.
2022
The Blues faced Manchester City in the 2022 final, and it would not be as straightforward as the previous year’s win, as our opponents came from behind twice to force extra-time.
Kerr put the Blues 1-0 up after 33 minutes, heading in at the far post after a long pass forward from Millie Bright. Lauren Hemp levelled with a curled strike before Erin Cuthbert put us back in the driving seat with a stunning goal that bounced in via the crossbar.
It appeared as though we would hold out for the win, but Hayley Raso breached our defence in the 89th minute to even things up once more and force extra time.
In the additional 30 minutes, Kerr struck her second of the game, running from inside her own half and into the box before unleashing her shot beyond goalkeeper Ellie Roebuck.
The goal came in the 99th minute and the Blues' backline held out to lift the trophy with a 3-2 win.
2023
In 2023, we made the Women’s FA Cup final for the third successive year, and fans flooded into Wembley Stadium to once again break the attendance record for the competition with 77,390 through the turnstiles that day.
Not only was this a record crowd for a Women's FA Cup final, but it was also a world record for a women's domestic match, surpassing a Liga F game between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
The Blues faced Manchester United and came away with a 1-0 win, thanks to a Sam Kerr strike from close range, which she celebrated with her trademark backflip.
2025
Sonia Bompastor steered Chelsea to the FA Cup final in her first season in charge – and ensured a domestic Treble was claimed for the second time in our history as Manchester United were beaten 3-0 at Wembley.
Sandy Baltimore kept a cool head to convert a penalty on the stroke of half-time, and then supplied the assist from a free-kick for Catarina Macario to head home our second with six minutes of the 90 to play.
Baltimore capped off a sublime individual performance as she completed her brace in added time, rifling home her shot to ensure we lifted the trophy for the sixth time.
