A bit of history:
Formed by the merger of Deportivo Gallo and Unión Deportiva Eibarresa, they were originally known as Eibar Fútbol Club, before changing to the current name. Originally an irregular team, it wasn't until the 1943-44 season that Eibar were reorganised into a more full-time unit. Promoted to the third (Tercera) division in 1950, they were promoted to the Segunda in 1952-53, where they stayed for five seasons, before being relegated again. The team has since floated between the two second divisions and the third.
The club was relegated from the Segunda Division A to the Segunda Division B at the end of the 2005-6 season. However they won Segunda Division B Group IV. In the promotion play-offs they won their semi-final tie against L'Hospitalet 2-0. In the final they faced Rayo Vallecano and won by 2-1 on aggregate.
