FA Women's Premier League
Season2000–01

The 2000–01 FA Women's Premier League season was the 10th season of the FA Women's Premier League. Croydon's women's team, champions in the previous season, were bought by Charlton Athletic and allowed to bear its name. Liverpool, founder members of the Women's Premier League, were relegated.[1] For the first time the champions, Arsenal,[2] qualified for the inaugural UEFA Women's Cup, the women's European club championship.[3][4][5][6][7]

Notes:
  1. ^ Croydon made a business deal with Charlton Athletic (men's team) and changed the name accordingly.
  2. ^ Barry Town's men's team played in the Wales league pyramid, but the women's team was part of the English league pyramid.
