Shamrock Rovers Ladies Football Club is an Irish association football club based in Dublin. It is the women's section of Shamrock Rovers F.C.. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, Shamrock Rovers Ladies were one of the most successful teams in women's association football in the Republic of Ireland, winning both the Dublin Women's Soccer League and the FAI Women's Cup five times in a row. In 2002–03 Rovers became the first women's team to represent the Republic of Ireland in Europe and in 2011–12 they were founder members of the Women's National League.

In the early 1990s Denis Power helped establish Castle Rovers F.C., a women's football club founded by employees of the Irish civil service. Castle Rovers played in the Dublin Women's Soccer League and were league champions in 1995 and 1996. In 1996 they also won the FAI Women's Cup. In 1996 this club was taken over by Shamrock Rovers F.C.. With a team that included Olivia O'Toole and Sharon Boyle, Rovers went on to become one of the leading Republic of Ireland women's football teams during the late 1990s and early 2000s, winning four successive Dublin Women's Soccer League/FAI Women's Cup doubles between 1998 and 2001.
