The first known existence of a female Forest team was that which competed in the Notts and Derby League in the early 1970s but the club in its current form was officially founded in 1990 by the NFFC Community arm and then developed by the players. The small group of young women advertised in the men's official programme against Everton for players to join them.

The current kit is sponsored by The Reds Lotto draw and are growing ever stronger with their male counterparts. The team reached the FA Women's Premier League Cup final in March 2011, but were defeated by Barnet on penalties.

They currently play in the FA Women's Premier League Northern Division.

Forest Women applied to join the FA WSL in 2014,[1] however were unsuccessful.[2]
