The club was founded as part of Ulster Polytechnic in 1972 and entered the Irish League B Division. The club became UUJ with the amalgamation of the Polytechnic and the New University of Ulster as the University of Ulster in 1984. In 1991, it resigned from the B Division and dropped into the Amateur League.[1] In line with the University's rebrand in October 2014, the club updated its name.
