[1] Real Madrid have won the Championship of Spain on 7 occasions and the Copa del Rey a record 12 times.

Like some other sections of Real Madrid, it had to close after the 1982–83 season due to economic mismanagement.

The club's best international performance occurred during the 1977–78 season when they reached the semi-finals of the European Cup, before being defeated by the Dutch team, Starlift Blokkeer.

The unexpected closure of the section after the successful 1982–83 season, during which the club won a domestic double, was motivated by years of economic mismanagement.

In the following season the club ceded the federative rights to the Club Volleyball Madrid sponsored by the health company Sanitas, inheriting its sports squad as well as the right to participate in the CEV Champions League.
