Essex Ladies AC was originally known as Eastern Ladies AC from 1921. In 1922, they became Manor Park Ladies AC, before a name change to Essex Ladies in 1934. Woodford Green AC merged with Essex Ladies AC in 1998.

The club joined the BAL in 1969 and the UKWAL in 1984.

Snooker legend Ronnie O’Sullivan competes for the Club.
