The club was formed in 1970 with some financial and logistical support from FC Barcelona, but without being an official section. In its inaugural season it competed in matches against other Catalan teams and was known as Selecció Ciutat de Barcelona, taking the name Peña Femenina Barcelonista in 1971. It was a founding member of Spain's first national women's league, the Liga Nacional, in 1988, when it became known as Club Femení Barcelona, and in 2002, when it officially became a section of FC Barcelona, it took the official name Futbol Club Barcelona.
Domestically, Barcelona Femení is the most successful Spanish women's team, with eight league titles, nine Copas de la Reina, and four Supercopas, as well as ten Copas Catalunyas. It also won the previous second tier of Spanish women's football a record four times after battling relegation and fighting for promotion throughout the 2000s.
Since the club's professionalisation in 2015, Barcelona cemented itself as Spain's dominant women's football team, becoming the league's most successful team in the UEFA Women's Champions League, and one of the most successful women's football teams in Europe. It won the Champions League in 2021 and 2023; with its first Champions League title, Barcelona became the first (and only) Spanish women's team to complete a continental treble.
