The 1990–91 season was Arsenal Ladies Football Club's 4th season since forming in 1987. The club moved from the Home Counties League, and instead participated in the Greater London Regional Women's League Division One. Here, they finished in third place behind Friends of Fulham and Millwall Lionesses.
The following season would see the introduction of the WFA National League, the first time a nationwide Women's Football League would be implemented in England. With the top two sides qualifying for the Premier Division, Arsenal were instead placed in the Southern Division, missing out on the Premier Division by one point.
Arsenal also played in the FA Cup, where they made history by playing their first ever match at Highbury in a Quarter Final replay against Davies Argyle.
The team progressed to the Semi Finals for the first time in their history. However, they lost the tie to Millwall Lionesses, thanks to an injury time winner from Lynne McCormick.
This would be Arsenal's final season at the Douglas Eyre Sports Centre. In the summer, the club moved to the Hare & Hounds Stadium at Leyton Wingate.
