The 2014–15 FA Women's Premier League season was the 24th season of the competition, which began in 1992. Formerly the top flight of women's football in England, this season it sits at the third and fourth levels of the women's football pyramid, below the two divisions of the FA Women's Super League and above the eight regional football leagues.
This season saw the Premier League expand to cover the Regional Leagues as well. The league features six regional divisions: the Northern and Southern divisions at level three of the pyramid, and below those Northern Division 1, Midlands Division 1, South East Division 1, and South West Division 1, the former Combination Leagues. 67 teams were members of the league at the beginning of the 2014–15 season, with 12 teams in the Northern and Southern Divisions, and the Northern and Midlands Division 1. South East Division 1 had 10 teams and South West Division 1 had 9 teams. At the end of the season the champions of the Northern and Southern divisions qualified for a playoff match against each other which decided the overall league champion, who was promoted to FA WSL 2.
