The team was founded in 1997 by Fausto Gresini (1961–2021), a two-time 125cc world champion, after the end of his racing career. He died in 2021 due to COVID-19, with the team continuing under his widow Nadia Padovani.
The team competed in the 500cc class for two seasons before dropping down to the 250cc class in 1999. In 2001, Gresini's rider Daijiro Kato won the 250cc title. The following season, the team stepped up to the MotoGP class, where they have been competing since. The team also competes in the Moto2 class since 2010. That season, Gresini's rider Toni Elías won the inaugural Moto2 title.
