History
Although Girona FC operated a senior women's team for a number of years, financial constraints had forced them to resign to its place in Segunda División in 2013 and to cease operations in 2016.[1] Girona FC Femení returned to competition in 2017–18, in the second division of the Catalan regional leagues, the fifth tier of women's football in Spain.[1]
Three seasons later, the club purchased the women's section of local club Sant Pere Pescador, renaming the senior team to Girona FC Senior A. The existing team was renamed Girona FC Senior B.[2]
