The 2000 FA Women's Charity Shield was the first Women's FA Charity Shield, as with its male equivalent, the Charity Shield is an annual football match played between the winners of the previous season's league and the previous season's Women's FA Cup.[1] The match was contested between Arsenal and Charlton Athletic, it ended 1–1.[2][3] It is the only time that the trophy has been shared between two teams.[4]

Although they had finished as runners-up to Croydon in both league and cup, Doncaster Belles were overlooked for a place in this inaugural Charity Shield match. An article in The Guardian described the selection of Charlton Athletic and Arsenal as curious and related to unspecified "commercial reasons".[5]
