Ajax, nicknamed Urban Warriors, played their first official game against Kaizer Chiefs in the Iwisa Charity Spectacular on 17 July 1999.

Over the years several Ajax CT players have made the step to the mother club, among them Steven Pienaar in 2002, Daylon Claasen in 2009, Eyong Enoh in 2008 and Thulani Serero in 2011.

Ajax CT were relegated to the National First Division after finishing bottom in the 2017–18 season due to having points deducted.

Ajax CT were deducted points for fielding Thendai Ndoro, who, according to the governing Premier Soccer League, was an illegible player.

The team, therefore would have not been relegated had the points not been deducted and had the league not overturned their original decision that Ndoro was eligible to play.

The stadium located in Athlone, Cape Town was also host to some of Ajax CT early home matches as well.

On 3 August 2011 a contract extension of three years was negotiated with the stadium, which saw Ajax CT play their home games there until 2014.

It serves as the training grounds for the senior squad, as well as for the Ajax Cape Town Youth Development Academy.
