The 2008–09 season was Arsenal Ladies Football Club's 22nd season since forming in 1987. The club participated in the National Division of the FA Women's Premier League, winning the title for a 6th consecutive season, this time on goal difference, defeating second-placed Everton on the final day at Widnes.^[1] However, they saw their five-year, 108-match unbeaten league run come to an end, after losing 3–0 at home to Everton.^[2] They completed a domestic treble by winning Premier League Cup and FA Women's Cup, defeating Doncaster Rovers Belles and Sunderland in the Finals respectively.^[3]^[4] They also competed in the UEFA Women's Cup, but lost at the Quarter-final stage to Umeå, the side they had defeated in the Final two seasons ago.^[5]^[6]

This was Arsenal's final season under the management of Vic Akers, who stood down at the end of the season to take up the position of general manager at the club. He ended his time the club having won 32 major honours, including the UEFA Cup, making him the most successful Arsenal Manager of all time.^[7]
