The Scottish Women's Football Annual Awards is an award ceremony hosted by Scottish Women's Football (SWF), the governing body for women's association football in Scotland. The inaugural award ceremony, sponsored by The Scottish Sun, took place in 2009 at Hampden Park.
The 2018 edition, which was the first since 2013, was sponsored by MG Alba and it was held at the Hilton Glasgow Hotel;[1] the 2019 awards were also held in Glasgow, at the nearby Marriott Hotel.[2] The 2020 season was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which also caused the 2021 awards to be a virtual event (presented from Tynecastle Park).[3] The awards returned to the Hilton Glasgow in 2022,[4][5] and Hampden Park was the venue in 2023, sponsored by ScottishPower.[6]
