The 2018–19 season is Everton Ladies Football Club's second season competing in the FA Women's Super League since being promoted after winning the 2017 WSL2 Spring Series, and being one of the league's foundation clubs.[1]

Ahead of the 2018–19 season, Everton announced that they would play the first half of the season at Merseyrail Community Stadium.[2][3]

Review[edit]

After going winless in the league for the first six matches reaching bottom of the table, Everton sacked longtime manager Andy Spence and appointed goalkeeper coach, Jennifer Herst, as interim manager.[4] On 1 December Willie Kirk was announced as manager for the Ladies first team.[5]
