The 1998 FA Women's Cup final was the 27th final of the FA Women's Cup, England's primary cup competition for women's football teams. It was the fifth final to be held under the direct control of the Football Association (FA). It was contested between Arsenal and Croydon Women at The New Den, home of Millwall. The final ended 3–2 in favour of Arsenal.[1][2][3] The final was broadcast on BSkyB.[4] As their men's counterpart won the 1997–98 FA Cup, Arsenal became the first club to win both the men's and women's FA Cup in the same season after the FA's take over of the women's tournament in 1993.
