History

Founded in 2018, the club submitted their registration to the La Rioja Football Federation in August of that year, immediately entering in the Regional Preferente.[1] In their second season, the club won promotion to Tercera División after finishing first in the first tier, also assuring a Copa del Rey berth.[2]

In the 2020–21 Copa del Rey, Racing Rioja qualified to the first round, but was knocked out by La Liga side SD Eibar. At the end of the 2023–24 Tercera Federación, the club dissolved after it could not pay their debts with the Association of Spanish Footballers (AFE).[3]
