The team was based in the city of Rimini and plays its home games at the Stadio dei Pirati since 1973.
Rimini has won 13 national championships and three European Cups during its entire history.
The club was formed in 1949, inspired by Eugenio Pagnini, a modern pentathlete at the 1928 and 1932 Summer Olympics, who taught in Rimini's classical lyceum and had recently returned from a visit to the United States.
The club initially played on a field by Rimini railway station and at the Stadio Romeo Neri.
In 1979, the club changed its uniform from white and red (the same colours of Rimini FC 1912) to black and orange.
