The Club Universitario de Deportes Femenino is the women's football section of Club Universitario de Deportes. It was first formed in 1952 and currently participates in the Primera División Femenina, where it has played since the first official tournament organized in 1996 by the Peruvian Football Federation.

To date, it is the team that has won the Primera División title the most times (ten times), in its various different formats. The club also has a "Women's Football Academy" for girls between 10 and 17 years old. It has also participated five times in the Copa Libertadores Femenina.

On several occasions, players from Universitario have represented Peru in its women's national football team, notably the participation of players Vivian Ayres, Lorena Bosmans and Aissa Garibay, who finished in third place in the 1998 South American Women's Football Championship.
