The 2007–08 season was Arsenal Ladies Football Club's 21st season since forming in 1987. The club participated in the National Division of the FA Women's Premier League, winning the title for a 5th consecutive season and doing so unbeaten once again. They completed a domestic double by winning the FA Women's Cup by defeating Leeds Carnegie 4–1 in the Final, but lost the Premier League Cup Final to Everton. They were unable to defend their Community Shield title as the competition was suspended due to the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup. They also competed in the UEFA Women's Cup as reigning champions, but lost at the quarter-final stage to Lyon.
