The 2015 season was Arsenal Ladies Football Club's 28th season since forming in 1987. The club participated in the fifth edition of the FA WSL, England's top flight for women's football since 2011. Arsenal also played in the FA Women's Cup, and the FA WSL Cup, winning the latter in the final against Notts County in November.
As this season bridged the gap between the Men's Team's 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons, the team wore two different sets of kits during each half of the season.
