The club was part of the National University of San Marcos and its last participation in a football league was in the 2011 Peruvian Segunda División. They first started competing in the 2001 season. Previously, the team had won five editions of the National Sporting University Games (Juegos Deportivos Universitarios Nacionales). Their 2006 season in the second division was the most notable as they fought Deportivo Municipal for promotion to the Primera División but they finished second and were not promoted. Universidad San Marcos played its home games at the university's Estadio Universidad San Marcos, located in the center of the National University of San Marcos' main campus in Lima. Due to financial difficulties in 2011, the club withdrew from the second division and folded in 2012 and the Peruvian Football Federation subsequently gave the club a 10-year ban from all competition.[1]
