In 1912, the club took part in the foundation of the Liga Peruana de Football; however, it withdrew before the start of the competition and did not participate in the inaugural season. Two years later, it rejoined and earned promotion in 1914. The club went on to win the Dewar Cup—awarded to the league champion—in both 1915 and 1916. In the 1915 campaign, José Gálvez defeated Atlético Peruano 4–1 to secure its first league title. In the 1916 season, during the final stretch, it faced Jorge Chávez No. 1 in a decisive clash between title contenders, winning 1–0 and claiming back-to-back championships.Dechalaca.com Sport José Gálvez bicaempeón 1915-1916: Un milrayitas victoriano y bicampeón
In the following years, the club remained a regular participant and contender in various competitions.

In 1958, the club was crowned unbeaten champions of the Tercera División Provincial de Lima, enjoying an outstanding campaign with eight wins and one draw, scoring 15 goals and conceding just one. During that season, the club was presided over by David Nieto, with Lucio and Carlos Collazos, Jorge Rentería, and Miguel Pachas serving as board delegates.
The club was later crowned champions of Serie A of the Segunda División Provincial de Lima, finishing ahead of Audax FBC, which earned them promotion to the Liga Provincial de Lima, where they remained until the 1970s.
