The 2019–20 FA Women's National League Plate is the sixth running of the competition, which began in 2014. It is the secondary League Cup competition run by the FA Women's National League (FA WNL), and is run in parallel with the league's primary League Cup competition, the National League Cup.[1]
The teams that take part in the WNL plate are decided after the determining round of the WNL Cup. The winners of determining round matches continue in the WNL Cup, while the losers move into the WNL Plate. Seventy of the 71 National League clubs were included in the determining round draw, with Larkhall Athletic being granted a bye due to there being an odd number of teams in the competition.[1] Hounslow withdrew from the competition after the draw, meaning 34 teams were entered into this season's WNL plate.
West Bromwich Albion are the reigning champions, having defeated Liverpool Feds 5–1 in the 2018–19 final.[2]
