The club was founded on May 8, 2005, as Sendas Pão de Açúcar Esporte Clube.[2] They won the Campeonato Carioca Third Division in 2007 and the Copa Rio in 2010. They competed in the Série D in 2011.

Sendas Pão de Açúcar Esporte Clube was renamed to Audax Rio de Janeiro Esporte Clube on July 17, 2011, adopting a new logo and new kits. The owner of the club, Grupo Pão de Açúcar, changed the club's name to bring the team closer to its supporters.[3] Audax was eliminated in the First Stage in the 2011. The club finished in the second position in the Campeonato Carioca Second Division in 2012, and was promoted to the 2013 Campeonato Carioca.[4]
