History Wigan Warriors women's team was established in October 2017 ahead of the 2018 RFL Women's Super League. The team won the league championship in their inaugural season beating Leeds Rhinos 18–16 in the Grand Final at the Manchester Regional Arena. At the end of the 2023 season, vice-captain Vicky Molyneux became the first female player to enter the Wigan Warriors Hall of Fame. The team played their first match at the DW Stadium during the opening game of the 2024 Super League in a 18–4 victory over Barrow Raiders. Midway through the 2024 season, the club moved their training base to Edge Hall Road which had been redeveloped into an elite women's training facility by Wigan Warriors and Wigan Athletic. In May 2025, The Guardian praised the club for establishing itself as regular challenges amongst the traditional top three of St Helens, Leeds, and York, described it as a "watershed moment" for the women's game. The club finished the 2025 season as treble winners following a 2025 Super League Grand Final victory over St Helens, after beating them in the Challenge Cup final earlier in the year, and lifting the League Leaders' Shield. They did so as an amateur side, with the aforementioned "traditional top three" having become semi-professional in the last few years.
