Final

Main article: 2008 FA Women's Premier League Cup final

In a shock result, Everton won the final with an early goal from Amy Kane, securing their first trophy since the 1997–98 FA Women's Premier League. Arsenal's defeat was their first in 58 domestic matches, a run stretching back two years to their humbling by Charlton Athletic in the 2005–06 final of the same competition.
