List of winners

A companion to the men's award established in 2008, the women's award was first made in 2022, at that time sponsored by Glen's Vodka.[1][2] An award organised by the Scottish Football Association itself and voted for by supporters was already in place (winners including Weir and Erin Cuthbert),[3][4] and PFA Scotland also introduced awards for Player and Team of the Year in 2022,[5][6] in addition to those for the domestic leagues (the SWPL and lower divisions).[7]
