2018–19 FA Women's League Cup

It is sponsored by Continental AG, who have sponsored the competition since its creation, and is officially known as the FA Continental Tyres League Cup.

All 22 teams of the FA Women's Super League and FA Women's Championship contest the competition - the largest field in the history of the cup.

Before the competition, only Manchester City and Arsenal had won the cup in the previous seven seasons it was contested in.

Following the previous season's reversion to a group format in the initial stage, the 2018–19 WSL Cup will keep the same format but expand to accommodate the increase in teams in the top two divisions of women's football to 22.

As a result, two of the four groups will contain six teams while the others remain at five, with only the top two going through to the quarter-finals from each.
