The 1994–95 season was Arsenal Ladies Football Club's 8th season since forming in 1987. The club participated in the National Division of the FA Women's Premier League, winning their second League Title since promotion. They also clinched the FA Cup after defeating Liverpool 3–2 in the Final.[1] With no League Cup due to the FA wanting players to be prepared for the upcoming 1995 World Cup, Arsenal participated in a bespoke alternate competition, the Middlesex County Senior Cup.[2] They reached the final, hosted at Highbury, but lost to Wembley 3–0. They also took part in the first edition of the London County Cup, defeating Millwall Lionesses in the Final.

Arsenal moved from Southbury Road to The Lantern Stadium at the start of the season. However, their stay in Potters Bar was brief, as in the following season, they moved to Hayes Lane in Bromley.
