The 2015–16 FA Women's Premier League Cup is the 25th running of the FA Women's Premier League Cup, which began in 1991. It is the major League Cup competition run by the FA Women's Premier League, and for the second season it is being run alongside their secondary League Cup competition, the Premier League Plate.[1]

All 72 Premier League clubs entered at the Determining round, with the winners continuing in the competition and the losers going into the Premier League Plate tournament.

Going into the tournament, Charlton Athletic were the reigning champions, having defeated Sheffield on penalties the previous season.[2] They failed to defend their title this year however, thanks to a defeat to Cardiff City in the first round.[3]
