Top flight record

edit

The club was a founding member of the Premier League in 2009, taking part in the four team Southern Conference.

The first two seasons saw the club finish in second place in the Southern Conference behind eventual champions Swansea City Ladies, having won all their matches, except the encounters with The Swans. The 2011/12 season proved to be their year as they avoided defeat against the reigning champions and qualified for the Championship Final, which they won 3–0 against Wrexham Ladies at Victoria Park, Llanidloes. Nadia Lawrence, Sophie Scherschel and Lauran Welsh scored the goals that sealed the club's first ever national title.

In the 2018-19 season, Cardiff Met Women won the domestic treble after winning the Premier League, the FAW Women's Cup and the Welsh Premier Women's Cup.[4] Cardiff Met were also unbeaten in the domestic season, winning 14 and drawing 2 of their 16 league games.
