The team competes in Serie A, the top flight in national football, since its debut in the 2017–18 season. They have won five league titles, two Coppa Italia titles, and three Supercoppa Italiana titles, becoming one of the country's most successful teams. In 2020–21 they became the first Italian club (women's or men's) to accomplish a perfect season, having won all their league matches. After their 2021–22 league triumph, Juventus became the first team to win five consecutive league titles.
In May 2017 Juventus' general manager Giuseppe Marotta announced that the club was planning to form a women's team.[2] The women's section of Juventus was officially formed on 1 July 2017.[3] Despite there being other women's football clubs in Turin in the past which had adopted the name "Juventus" and the black and white colours, such as Real Juventus and Juventus Torino, these have never had any connection with the men's club.[3]
Colloquially known as Juventus Women,[4] the team was formed thanks to the possibility given by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) to professional men's clubs to purchase amateur women's clubs. Already active in women's youth football since 2015,[5] Juventus acquired the sporting licence of Serie A club Cuneo,[6] which in the meantime had dissolved,[4] allowing the newly-formed team to directly compete in the Italian top division;[7] several players were signed from neighbouring Brescia, Italian champions in two of the previous four seasons and runners-up in the others.[8]

During the tenure of Rita Guarino,[9] Juventus quickly emerged as a dominating force in Italy, winning four consecutive league titles in their first four years of activity.[10] Juventus' first game was on 27 August 2017, in a 13–0 away victory over Torino in the first leg of the first round of 2017–18 Coppa Italia; Martina Rosucci scored the club's first-ever goal.[11] In the 2017–18 Serie A, the club was tied with Brescia for first place at 60 points.[12] The two sides played a single-legged play-off match where, following a goalless draw after 120 minutes, Juventus beat Brescia 5–4 in a penalty shoot-out.[12]
In 2018–19, by virtue of having won the previous season's league title, they qualified for the UEFA Champions League; they lost 3–2 on aggregate to Brøndby in the round of 32.[13] That season, Juventus achieved the domestic double, winning their second Serie A title and first Coppa Italia.[14] In 2019–20, Juventus won both the Supercoppa Italiana, their first title,[15] and their third consecutive league title.[a][10] In only two years, the team won all the trophies of Italian women's football.[15]
In the 2020–21 season, Juventus won their second Supercoppa Italiana,[18] and their fourth-consecutive league title, becoming only the second club to achieve this streak after Torres in 2013.[19] They finished the season winning all 22 league matches, becoming the first team in the Italian women's top flight to accomplish a perfect season.[20]

After four seasons at the club, Guarino left Juventus,[21] and was replaced by former Melbourne City and Arsenal coach Joe Montemurro ahead of the 2021–22 season.[22] Juventus won their fifth-consecutive league title, establishing a record streak in Italian women's football.[23] They also finished among the best eight teams in Europe, reaching the quarterfinals of the 2021–22 Champions League.[24] Having also won the Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana that season, their second and third respectively, Juventus achieved their first domestic treble.[25]
The 2022–23 season saw Juventus dwelling with Roma during the whole season on all fronts; against the Giallorosse, Juventus lost the 2022 Supercoppa Italiana at penalty shoot-out (1–1 after extra time)[26] and ended their run of five consecutive scudetti (they finished second behind Roma).[27] Their sole seasonal trophy was the Coppa Italia, after defeating Roma 1–0 thanks to a Barbara Bonansea's stoppage-time goal.[28]
Juventus started the 2023–24 season with the early elimination from the Champions League at the hands of Eintracht Frankfurt after penalty shoot-outs at the first qualifying round in September.[29] After a 1–0 defeat to Fiorentina in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-finals and following a nine-point gap from league leaders Roma, Juventus announced Montemurro's dismissal with immediate effect on 6 March 2024.[30] Montemurro's Juventus won one scudetto, two Coppa Italia and two Supercoppa Italiana (one of which in January 2024).[30][31] He was replaced ad interim by his assistant coach, Giuseppe Zappella,[30] who brought Juventus to the second place in the league behind Roma, who won their second league in a row.[32]
On 22 May 2024, Juventus announced that Massimiliano Canzi had agreed to become Juventus' coach on a two-year contract.[33]

Juventus' home ground is the 498-capacity Campo Ale & Ricky ("Ale & Ricky Field"), situated inside the Juventus Training Center in Vinovo.[34][35] For their UEFA Women's Champions League matches (excluding qualifying rounds), Juventus have been using the men's team's Juventus Stadium in Turin since 2020.[36] Juventus played their home matches of the 2018–19 and 2019–20 Champions League seasons respectively at the Stadio Silvio Piola in Novara, and at the Stadio Giuseppe Moccagatta in Alessandria.[c][38][39]
On 24 March 2019, Juventus played an important match against Fiorentina at the Juventus Stadium, in which tickets were free;[40] Juventus won 1–0 and the match was seen by 39,000 people, a record number of spectators in a women's football match in Italy.[41]
During their first season in 2017–18, Juventus trained at the Sisport center in Turin.[34] Starting from 2018, Juventus have been training at the Juventus Training Center.[42]
In July 2015, Juventus formed their under-12 team following a partnership with Turin-based club San Bernando Luserno,[43] after FIGC decided that every Serie A club had to have a feminine team.[44] By 2022, Juventus had already had seven youth teams (from U9 to U19 level).[44] In November 2022, Juventus Women's Team Director Stefano Braghin announced a collaboration with Bari-based club Pink Bari's youth set-up.[45]
The under-19 team have won the Women's Torneo di Viareggio twice (in 2019 and 2020)[46][47] and have reached (and lost) five scudetto finals in six years (2018,[48] 2020,[49] 2021,[50] 2022[51] and 2023[52]),[d] with the addition of a third place in 2019, after defeating 4–2 Pink Bari in the third-place playoff.[53]
The under-17 team have reached two scudetto finals, they won in 2019[54] and lost in 2022.[55] The under-15s have won two scudetti (in 2019[56] and 2022).[57] Juventus U12 have won twice the national phase of the Danone Nations Cup, a prestigious international competition among under-12 teams, in 2017 and in 2022.[58][59]
