Initially founded as a university team in the early 2000s, the club was officially founded as a professional side on 23 March 2005, the day it was affiliated to the Asociación Municipal de Fútbol Vinto.[1] They first played in the Copa Simón Bolívar in 2017, being knocked out in the group stage.[1]

Universitario de Vinto reached the second stage of the Simón Bolívar in 2018, but did not appear in the 2019 and 2020 campaigns after failing to qualify.[1] They returned to the national second division in 2021, and won the title after defeating Universitario de Sucre in the Final.[2]
