The club currently plays in Primera Divisió, and is its current champion and most successful team with ten titles. It is also the most successful team in the Copa Constitució, winning it eight times.
Founded in 1986 FC Santa Coloma became one of the founder members of Primera Divisió in 1995. Since 2001 the club has enjoyed a great success in all Andorran competitions standing with all the records in the Premier Andorran League (10) and Andorran Cup (8).
FC Santa Coloma has two unique achievements for an Andorran team in European competitions, never repeated so far by any Andorran team: it is the only team from Andorra to win a match in any European competition and the only team that did not concede a goal in a match in a European competition.
Both of these feats were achieved on two occasions: the first match in the 2007–08 UEFA Cup qualifying round against the Israeli side Maccabi Tel Aviv, in which FC Santa Coloma won 1–0 at home with a goal scored by Juli Fernandez and in the 2014–15 UEFA Champions League First qualifying round when they beat Banants of Armenia 1–0. On the first occasion, in the return leg they lost 4–0 to Maccabi and were eliminated from the tournament. Against Banants, they lost the second leg away in Armenia 3–2, however the game finished 3–3 on aggregate and FC Santa Coloma won by the away goals rule, thanks to a last minute goal by goalkeeper Eloy Casals. It was only the second time an Andorran club have won a two-legged tie in Europe after Sant Julià.
