Gotham FC is an American professional women's soccer team competing in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL). Based in the New York metropolitan area, the club was originally founded in 2006 and has undergone several name changes, most recently from NJ/NY Gotham FC to its current simplified name. As a founding member of the NWSL in 2013, the team has been a consistent presence in the top tier of American women's soccer.

The team's most significant achievement came in 2023 when it won the NWSL Championship, establishing itself as a major force in the league. This championship victory marked a high point for the organization, which had previously competed in Women's Professional Soccer before the formation of the NWSL. The club's longevity and success make it one of the cornerstone franchises in women's professional soccer in the United States.

Recently, Gotham FC has been in the news following its appearance in the 2025 NWSL Championship game. The team defeated the Washington Spirit 1-0 to claim another league title, with Rose Lavelle scoring the game-winning goal and earning MVP honors for her performance. This latest championship has prompted local celebrations, including plans for the team to be honored at a City Hall event, reflecting the continued growth and recognition of women's professional soccer.
