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.[1] 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.;[2] this arrangement ended in June 2023 when the women's team was rebranded as Rugby Borough W.F.C.[3]
