The Dallas Desire were a professional women's American football team located in Dallas, Texas. While active, they were one of five teams of the Lingerie Football League's Western Division. The Desire was one of two teams introduced to LFL in 2004, the other being the Los Angeles Temptation. On the 2011-2012 season, they were placed on hiatus, and went back into activity for the 2016 season. While the original incarnation played at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, the reformed Desire played at the Dr Pepper Arena in nearby Frisco. Team operations were suspended once again after the conclusion of the 2016 season.
Having been defeated by the Los Angeles Temptation in the Western Final (one of the semi-finals which included a Skill Test, a 3-on-2 match, and a dance competition) with a score of 36-68 at Lingerie Bowl II in 2005 and again at Lingerie Bowl III in 2006, the team never reached the Final before regular league play began in 2009.
For the 2009-2010 season, each team was scheduled to play the other four teams in its division once. Two of the games were at home and two were on the road. The team played its home games at QuikTrip Park in Grand Prairie, Texas. Their head coach was former NFL player Antuan Edwards.
The Dallas Desire began regular league play on September 25, 2009 with a home game against the Denver Dream. Their other home game was against the Los Angeles Temptation while they played the San Diego Seduction and Seattle Mist on the road. They ended the regular season 3-1, qualifying for the Western Conference Championship game, where they lost to the Los Angeles Temptation 20-14.
