The Ghana Women's FA Cup, is the top women's knockout tournament of the Ghanaian association football. The competition is played between the clubs of the Ghana Women's Premier League and Division One League. The inaugural winners of the competition were Police Ladies.
History The Ghana Women's FA Cup was launched in 2016 by the Women's League Board (WLB) of Ghana Football Association (GFA) as the highest women's knockout tournament.

Princella Adubea of Ampem Darko Ladies won the top goal scorer of the competition with 6 goals, whilst Suzy Teye Dede of Lady Strikers was also awarded as the discovery of the tournament.
In 2017, Prisons Ladies defeated Police Ladies by a lone goal to lift the Women's FA Cup. Former Black Maidens striker Sylvian Amankwah scored the only goal to give the Sunyani-based side a win to help them claim the trophy.
In 2018, there was no Ghana Women's FA Cup competition due to the dissolution of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) after the Anas Number 12 investigative piece. Similarly, in 2019, there was no competition. Then in 2020, the competition was abandoned due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The competition returned in the 2020/21 football season. That season, Hasaacas Ladies emerged as champions after a campaign where they defeated Ampem Darkoa Ladies in the final.
The following year, Army Ladies secured the Ghana Women's FA Cup title in the 2023/24 season, before Faith Ladies also won the trophy for the first time in the 2024/25 campaign to add their name to the growing list of champions.
