MUWFC will compete in the FA Women's National South West Dvision 1 once again in 2022/23, the fourth tier of women's football in England. The team will be managed by Ed Jackson Sankey.

Formerly Burnham LFC, Maidenhead United FC Ladies was newly formed at the beginning of the season 2008/09. In that debut season the new team enjoyed success after success, winning the Southern Regional Women's Football League Division 1 by a ten point margin at the first attempt and reaching the First Round proper of the Women’s FA Cup.

For the following four seasons, MLFC built solid foundations competing in the Premier Division and maintaining a position in the top half of the table. The Magpies were League Cup runner up and Chairman's Cup winners in 2010/11.

In season 2014/15 the Southern Region Premier Division title was won, finishing 14 points clear at the top of the table having won 17 out of 18 league games. The North Hants Cup was also won and the team were also runners up in the Berks and Bucks County Cup.

2015/16, being their first season in what is now known as FAWNL, saw the team achieve their goal of finishing mid-table and the team were once again North Hants Cup winners and Berks and Bucks County Cup runners up.

Season 2016/17 saw the team finish in 7th place in the table after a tough season full of injuries and postponed/rearranged games. The team competed with a small squad at times but continued to battle and be positive throughout.

Season 2017/18 saw the team finish in 8th position. At the end of this season the team said goodbye to Kerthney Carty who had been the popular manager of the team since since promotion in 2015. The Berks and Bucks Cup final was reached once more but the team suffered a 7-0 defeat to impressive MK Dons at Stadium:mk.

2018/19 was the team's toughest to date, with relegation from FAWNL only avoided with a victory in the final game of the season thanks to a 1-0 win at Southampton Saints. New manager Jamie Barratt was replaced during the season by George Marsh and Liam Vaughan.

2019/20 saw an improved but truncated season under Nevin Saroya. The tally of league victories for the entirety of the previous season had been equalled by the middle of September and the Berks and Bucks final was once again reached. However, the global pandemic brought the season to a premature close and so the cup final was never played and that trophy still eludes the grasp of Maidenhead United Women.

Season 2020/21 was also abandoned as a result of the COVID crisis, the Magpies having recorded four points from their three FAWNL games played. The team did however record a joint club-record best ever run to the 1st Round proper of the Vitality Women's FA Cup, defeating Denham United and Fulham foundation before falling to defeat to Billericay Town.

Season 2021/22 was the most successful season for MUWFC to date. Under new manager Ryan Taylor, The Magpies achieved a highest-ever finish in the FA Women’s National League Division One South West with a sixth placed finish. Other club records to fall included most clean sheets in a FAWNL league season (7), the best-ever tally of away victories in the fourth tier of women’s football (4), fewest FAWNL defeats suffered in a season (8, previous lowest 10), joint best-ever FAWNL points tally (24) and most frugal FAWNL defensive season (32 conceded – previous best 37). At the end of a fantastic campaign, the players voted teenage Goalkeeper Gemma Harvey as their player’s player of the season and the youngster backed up her popularity amongst her team-mates by winning the Young Female Player of the Season award in the Football In Berkshire awards in June 2022. Manager Ryan Taylor was forced to step down at the end of the season for personal reasons and therefore Ed Jackson-Sankey will manage the team in their eighth season at Tier 4 of the Women's Football Pyramid.
