The club was formed in 1990 under the nameMontpellier-Le-Crès following the fusion of local clubsRacing Club de Paillade andEntente Cressoise. In 2001, the women's club became the women's section of the football clubMontpellier HSC. Since joining Montpellier, the women's section has won the Division 1 Féminine twice in 2004 and 2005 and theChallenge de France three in 2006, 2007, and 2009 making the club one of the most successful women's football clubs inFrench football. Montpellier reached the semi-finals of the2005–06 edition of theUEFA Women's Cup and, during the2009–10 season, reached the quarter-finals of the inaugural edition of theUEFA Women's Champions League losing toSwedish clubUmeå on the away goals rule.[1]
Montpellier has produced several well-known players that have played for theFrance women's national football team.Hoda Lattaf is a current member of the Montpellier first-team and was one of the leading players of the national team during her ten-year stint from 1997–2007.

In October 2025,Crux Football, a newly established women-centric multi-club investment group, acquired 100 % ownership of Montpellier HSC Féminines from Montpellier HSC.[2] The transaction separated the women's section from the parent club’s structure, making it an independent entity under the Crux umbrella. As part of the new governance,Paul Bouffard was appointed president of Montpellier Féminines to provide local leadership and experience.[3] The acquisition is Crux Football’s first investment and is intended to serve as a flagship model in building a portfolio of European women’s football clubs. Club captainSonia Ouchene expressed support, stating that the move represented an evolution for women’s football in France and would help maintain high standards and achieve the club’s ambitions.[4]
