West Ham United Ladies are an FA Charter Standard Club and play in the FA Women's Premier League Southern Division.
The league is the third level in the women's football pyramid in England, along with the Northern Division. These two regionalised divisions sit below the FA Women's Super League and are played on a home and away basis, with teams playing each other twice. .
The Ladies, who also compete in the FA Women's Premier League Cup, the FA Women's Cup, Ryman Women's Cup and Essex FA County Cup, are managed by former West Ham left-back and Boleyn Ground legend Julian Dicks, who took charge in summer 2014.

The Ladies still have a number of sponsorship packages available for the 2014/15 season. These include Player, Match and Programme Sponsorship deals. Prices vary depending on the package, with Player Sponsorships for a full season costing £200 per player. For more information, please contact Julian Dicks via e-mail at [email protected]
