The FAI Women's President's Cup functions as the season-opening super cup for women's football in the Republic of Ireland. Inaugurated in 2023, the fixture serves as the curtain-raiser for the League of Ireland Women's Premier Division. It is contested annually between the reigning Women's National League champions and the winners of the FAI Women's Cup. Should a single club secure both titles, the league runner-up steps in as the opponent. The match is played as a single game, with no promotion or relegation implications attached to the result.
Athlone Town Women hold the record for success in the tournament. They claimed the inaugural title in 2023 by defeating Shelbourne Women 5-4 on penalties following a 2-2 draw. The Dublin side retained victory in 2024 against Peamount United. Shelbourne Women responded by winning the 2025 edition with a 2-1 victory over Athlone Town. The competition carries its original name throughout, distinguishing it from sponsored iterations of the league or the main domestic cup.
The event is named in honour of the President of Ireland, who traditionally attends the final and presents the trophy. While the FAI Women's Cup, established in 1975, remains the primary national knockout competition open to all eligible teams, this super cup involves only the top-tier league participants. It is a secondary fixture designed to highlight the elite teams of the division.
