History Associação Naval 1º de Maio was founded in 1893 and competed in the Primeira Liga between 2005 and 2011. In September 2017, in the Coimbra Football Association's district leagues, it suspended its activities and transferred its players of all ages to Naval 1893, a phoenix club set up weeks earlier by its former directors.

For 2025–26, the club entered the Campeonato de Portugal, the fourth tier of the Portuguese football league system. In the Taça de Portugal of the same season, the club won 3–0 at home to Académico Fundão in the first round and lost 1–0 to Leixões in the second, also at the Estádio Municipal José Bento Pessoa.
