It was founded under the name of "Crisul Oradea" in April 1958 and, since 1963, it has continued the football tradition of the city, following the dissolution of Club Atletic Oradea. FC Bihor played 18 seasons in the first division, the best performance being the 7th-place ranking on three occasions, in the seasons Liga I 1963–1964, 1983–1984, 1988–1989. At the end of the 2003–2004 season lit was relegated from Liga I, going on to play only in Liga II, failing to get promoted back. In January 2016, after continuously facing major financial problems, FC Bihor went bankrupt and disappeared from Romanian football.

In July 2022, the Oradea City Hall brought the club back to life, which it registered in the Liga III instead of the Club Atletic Oradea. The colors of the club from Oradea are Red and Blue.
