The club was founded in 2013 by chairman Jason Kay along with three co-chairmen, Jason Timms, Marcus Green and Pete Schofield and Club secretary Graham Wood following a takeover of Coventry Spartans in reaction to Coventry City moving from the Ricoh Arena to Northampton to play at Sixfields Stadium. Edwin Greaves had been in charge of the club since its formation until Spring 2016, when he was replaced by Terry Anderson.

On 4 July 2015, the club announced the takeover of Coventry City Ladies F.C, re-branding the ladies side Coventry United Ladies F.C.; this arrangement ended in June 2023 when the women's team was rebranded as Rugby Borough W.F.C.
