The 2026 Shelbourne F.C. season is the 11th season for the Women's Team since the club merged with Raheny United in 2015 and will see the women's first team competing in the 2026 League of Ireland Women's Premier Division.
On 20 October 2025, then-manager Eoin Wearen departed the club following the expiration of his contract. Former Treaty United W.F.C. manager Seán Russell was appointed as his replacement.
Pre-season saw the departures of a number of first team players, including club legend Noelle Murray.
On 18 July 2026, Shelbourne defeated Galway United W.F.C. 2-0 in the 2026 All-Island Cup final to win the trophy for the first time.
