The 2005–06 season was Arsenal Ladies Football Club's 19th season since forming in 1987. The club participated in the National Division of the FA Women's Premier League, winning the title for a 3rd consecutive season. They won the FA Women's Cup by defeating Leeds United 5-0 in the Final, but were unable to retain the Premier League Cup, losing to Charlton Athletic 2-1 in a repeat of the previous season's final. Arsenal also lost to Charlton Athletic in the London County Cup Final as well, but did triumph over them to win the FA Women's Community Shield. In Europe, Arsenal reached the quarterfinals of the UEFA Women's Cup, where they were defeated 4-2 on aggregate by eventual winners Frankfurt.
