List of UEFA Women's Cup and Women's Champions League finals

The UEFA Women's Champions League is a women's association football competition established in 2001.[1] It is the only international competition for European women's football clubs. The competition is open to the league champions of all UEFA member associations who run such championships; 46 of UEFA's 53 member associations have entered. The top eight associations may enter two teams, and the title holder is also entitled to an additional spot if they do not qualify through their domestic league. The first final was held in a single match final. Between 2003 and 2009, the final was contested in two legs, one at each participating club's home, but the single match was reinstated in 2010. The competition was known as UEFA Women's Cup until 2009.

The players of Turbine Potsdam celebrate their victory in 2005.

French side Lyon hold the record with eight titles. VfL Wolfsburg hold the distinction of losing the most finals with four. Germany is the most successful member association with nine titles.
