The organisation was founded on 22 October 1922 following meetings held at Sport Clube Conimbricense. The provisional constitution was prepared by Dr. Mário Machado, Manuel Camões, João Barata and Lt. Ribeiro da Costa.
Coimbra clubs compete in two of the three national levels of the Portuguese football league system in competitions run by the Portuguese League for Professional Football (Primeira Liga and Segunda Liga) and Portuguese Football Federation (Campeonato Nacional de Seniores). Associação Académica de Coimbra – O.A.F. play in the Primeira Liga while Associação Naval 1º de Maio competes in Campeonato Nacional de Seniores.
Below the Campeonato Nacional de Seniores the competitions are organised at a district level (known in Portuguese as Distritais) with each District Association organising its competitions according to geographical and other factors. The AF Coimbra runs two league competitions known as the Division of Honour (Honra) at the fourth level of the league system and two series below, 1ª divisão (série A) and 1ª divisão (série B), at the fifth level.
