They beat the Canaries 4–0 at Haverfordwest to qualify for Europe for the very first time. For the first time Swansea qualified to UEFA competitions in 2010 after winning the Welsh Premier League. As Wales is not in the top leagues by the UEFA coefficient for women, the team had to go through the qualifying stage of the UEFA Women's Champions League. Swansea City were drawn out in Group 5 and paired with ŽNK Krka (Slovenia) – who hosted the mini group – top seeds CF Bardolino Verona (Italy) and FC Baia Zugdidi (Georgia). Swansea achieved one win in its group, beating Baia Zugdidi 2–1 and ended the group on place 3 of 4, thus failing to move on to the knockout stages.
