History
Bohemian FC Womens team was first founded in 2009. This was an amateur senior team and played out of DCU Sports Grounds in Glasnevin. They competed in the Dublin Women's Soccer League which was the largest women's league in Ireland, and national cup competitions. Ireland had no national women's league at that time as the Women's National League was still some years away from being formed.
Just one year after being accepted to compete in the Under-17 Women's National League, Bohemians were accepted to the Women's National League on 18 February 2020.[2] The first match was originally scheduled for 15 March 2020, however, the team was made to wait until 8 August 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Ireland which delayed the start of the season. The game ended in a 4–1 defeat by Wexford Youths. Chloe Darby scored the consolation goal and wrote herself into the history books as Bohemians' first-ever national league goalscorer.[3][4]
Following a series of narrow defeats, Bohemians' inexperienced side finished bottom of the nine-team table in a truncated 2020 WNL season.[5] In the off-season the club launched a third team to compete in the new Under-19 Women's National League and announced plans to pay first team players' expenses.[6] After finishing sixth in the 2021 WNL season, the club announced that they would play all their 2022 home fixtures at Dalymount Park, instead of at the Oscar Traynor Centre where they had been based previously.[7]
After the 2023 season, Bohemians announced on their website that Sean Byrne and his management team's four year spell at the club had come to an end.[8] On the same day, the club announced Ken Kiernan as the new head coach.[9]
Ken Kiernan resigned at the end of the 2024 season and was replaced by Alban Hysa.[10][11] Hysa guided Bohs to two cups finals, including the 2025 Women's FAI Cup final, and won the 2025 Manager of the Year award in his first season but stepped down in January 2026.[12][13] Alan Murphy was announced as the new manager on 11 January 2026 after having previously served as assistant manager for the past two seasons.
