Founded in 1939, the team competes in the Tweede Divisie, the third tier of the Dutch football league system.

Katwijk plays its home games at Sportpark De Krom, which has a capacity of 6,000.

Katwijk have become Dutch amateur champions, by winning the overall Topklasse title in 2012–13.

As such, they were invited to play in the Dutch Eerste Divisie but, after some consideration, the club opted to stay in the Topklasse, claiming the organisation was not yet ready to compete in the Eerste Divisie.
