History

On 27 November 2018 Bohemians were accepted into the

Women's National League.[2] The historic first game in the Under-17 Women's National League for Bohemians was played on 13 April 2019 against Cork City and ended in 0–2 defeat.[citation needed
]

Just one year after being accepted to compete in the

Women's National League on 18 February 2020.[3] The first match was originally scheduled for 15 March 2020, however, the team was made to wait until 8 August 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Ireland which delayed the start of the season. The game ended in a 4–1 defeat by Wexford Youth. Chloe Darby scored the consolation goal and wrote herself into the history books as Bohemians' first-ever goalscorer.[4]

Following a series of narrow defeats, Bohemians' inexperienced side finished bottom of the nine-team table in a truncated 2020 WNL season.[5] In the off-season the club launched a third team to compete in the new Under-19 Women's National League and announced plans to pay first team players' expenses.[6] After finishing sixth in the 2021 WNL season, the club announced that they would play all their 2022 home fixtures at Dalymount Park, instead of at the Oscar Traynor Centre where they had been based previously.[7]
