The announcement of the creation of Western Sydney Wanderers FC on 4 April 2012 by the then FFA CEO Ben Buckley was soon followed by the announcement of an associated women's team which would compete in the W-League. On 5 July 2012, Stephen Roche was announced the inaugural head coach for the team. On 17 July 2014, Norm Boardman was appointed head coach for the team. On 20 May 2016, Richard Byrne was appointed head coach, with Leah Blayney appointed assistant coach and Davide Del Giovine goalkeeping coach. In October 2017, former Western Sydney Wanderers player Catherine Cannuli and Ryan Doidge joined Byrne as his assistant coaches.

The Wanderers made finals for the first time in 2019/20. They finished fourth after the Home & Away season.

Led by youngster Courtney Nevin, a local product, Matilda midfielder Ella Mastrantonio and foreign stars Denise O'Sullivan, Lynn Williams and Dolan Medallist Kristen Hamilton, the Wander Women had an impressive season.
