Charlton Athletic entered their third consecutive final having lost the previous two. Everton reached the final for the first time, although an earlier incarnation of the club, known as Leasowe Pacific, had lost the 1988 final and won in 1989.

As top-flight FA Women's Premier League clubs, both Charlton Athletic and Everton entered the competition at the fourth round stage. Charlton Athletic beat Wolverhampton Wanderers, West Ham United, Sunderland and Bristol Rovers to reach the final. Everton faced Bristol City, Leafield Athletic, Chelsea and Arsenal before reaching the final.

Charlton Athletic won the game 1–0, with a 58th-minute goal by Eniola Aluko.[1][2][3][4]
