On 20 March 2007, the
Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB) announced the professional Dutch women's football league (
Eredivisie Vrouwen) for three seasons starting in 2007–08, and FC Utrecht was one of the original six participating clubs. The club played its first official match on 30 August 2007, a 0–2 home defeat to
AZ at the
Sportcomplex Zoudenbalch. The team had a good season, finishing third in the league and runners-up in the
KNVB Women's Cup (Dutch Cup), losing the final 3–0 to
FC Twente. A fourth-place finish in the league's 2008–09 season was followed by a fifth place in the next season (2009–10). In that same season the club won the Dutch Cup, on 15 May 2010 by beating
Ter Leede 3–0 in the final, and won the on 27 August 2010, defeating Eredivisie champion AZ 3–1, after
extra time. On 22 February 2011, the League, the
KNVB and the clubs met to discuss improving to the league. The KNVB announced that the following season, matchdays would move from Thursdays to Fridays, relationship changes between clubs and their affiliated amateur clubs, guideline principles amongst other topics discussed and the financial conditions were to be discussed on a further meeting, as the KNVB was trying to keep the league with eight teams. On 8 March 2011, FC Utrecht became the third team (after AZ and
Willem II) to announce its withdrawal from the league for the next season due to financial reasons. To keep going without the club financial support, the (English: Utrecht Women's Football Foundation) was created on 6 April 2011, to provide the necessary finances and use FC Utrecht women's football license to register a team in the league. At the end of the 2010–11 season, the club finished fifth in the league. On 3 May 2011, the SEV and KNVB confirmed FC Utrecht as one of the six participants of the Eredivisie 2011–12 season, where the team finished fourth. In 2012, the professional women's leagues of Belgium and the Netherlands merged, creating the 16-team
BeNe League. FC Utrecht was one of the eight Dutch teams who participated of its inaugural 2012–13 season. The team finished in 12th place. In June 2013, despite financial concerns, the team applied for a license to play the 2013–14 BeNe League season. By the end of October, the Utrecht Women's Football Foundation (SVVU) which ran the club, could no longer meet its financial obligations and started to analyse the possibilities of continuing, even on an amateur basis. On 10 January 2014, the SVVU filed for bankruptcy at the district court of Utrecht. On 21 January, the court ruled SVVU as bankrupt, providing an eight-day period to appeal the court's decision. During this period, the team had to meet its competition obligations, including an away match against
Club Brugge on 24 January. FC Utrecht won the match 2–1, in what was the team's last official match for almost a decade. After the appeal period expired, the SVVU was legally dissolved on 30 January, having played 16 matches and in 11th place in the standings. The team was removed from the BeNe League and had all its 2013–14 season (BeNe League and Dutch Cup) results revoked and fixtures cancelled. In July 2021, FC Utrecht was reportedly looking into restarting a women's team in the Eredivisie Vrouwen beginning in the
2023–24 season. The club played its first match after rejoining the Eredivisie on 10 September 2023. The team's other home match at
Stadion Galgenwaard, a 2–0 loss to
AFC Ajax, had the fourth-best attendance. It finished the season in seventh place. ==Affiliated clubs==
