Last year's FAI Cup winners enter the season as back to back President Cup champions.
The Women's Premier Division season returns this weekend.
Athlone Town will be expected to improve on their fifth place finish last season.
The year ended on a high note for the midlanders with FAI Cup success, and has started brightly this year with an impressive 3-0 win over league champions Pemount United in the President's Cup last week.
Ciaran Kilduff's side welcome Galway United to Athlone Town Stadium for a 7.30pm kick off on Saturday.
Elsewhere, Shelbourne host Sligo, Shamrock Rovers are away to DLR Waves, Cork play Peamount United, and Wexford take on Bohemians.
