The club's greatest success has been promotion to the tier five Oberliga Rheinland-Pfalz/Saar in 2015.

FC Karbach was formed in 1920 and initially played in the leagues of the Deutsche Jugendkraft, a catholic faith-based organisation.

The club, from the start, played at the local Quintinsberg, still its home ground today, but then just a field covered in rocks and weeds.

An era of lesser success followed with the team dropping down to the C-Klasse.
