History

Founded in the 2011 summer as Girona B, the club had his registration denied by FCF in his first season,[1] and was inscribed in Segona Catalana in 2012–13.[2]

In his first senior season, Girona B achieved promotion to Primera Catalana, after defeating CE El Cattlar.[3] In 2016, after an agreement between Girona and CF Peralada was established, Girona B was demoted as the club's "C-team".

This new status was formalised on 23 July 2017, when the club was renamed Girona C as a result of CF Peralada's members approving a name change to CF Peralada-Girona B.[4]

At the end of the 2018–19 season, Girona C finished second in their group of the Primera Catalana, missing out on promotion to the Tercera División only on a play-off game.[5] At the same time, CF Peralada's affiliation with Girona ended as they were themselves relegated to the Tercera División, resulting in Girona C being restored to their original name of Girona B.[6]

Girona B later achieved promotion to the fourth division in 2020, after finishing first in their group of the Primera Catalana.
