List of Women's Super League hat-tricks

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Since the inception of the English women's football league competition, the Women's Super League,[a] in 2011, 51 hat-tricks (three goals in a single match) have been scored by 31 different players playing for 12 different clubs. The first player to achieve the feat was Rachel Williams playing for Birmingham City in a 4–0 victory against Liverpool. 14 players have scored more than one hat-trick and six players have achieved four or more goals in a game. Chelsea's 6–0 win over Bristol City in 2019 remains the only game where multiple players completed a hat-trick in the same game.
