The 2004–05 season was Arsenal Ladies Football Club's 18th season since forming in 1987. The club participated in the National Division of the FA Women's Premier League, winning the title for a 2nd consecutive season. They won the Premier League Cup, defeating Charlton Athletic 3–0 in the final to complete a domestic double. However, they were unable to retain the FA Cup, losing 3–0 in the Semi Finals to Everton. They missed out on the FA Community Shield and failed to progress in the London County Cup, after Charlton Athletic defeated them in both competitions. This season also saw Arsenal return to Europe after missing out the previous season. They reached the semifinals of the UEFA Women's Cup, where they were defeated 2–1 on aggregate by Djurgården.
