The club won the Swiss Championship three years in row from 2001 to 2003. From 2013 to 2017, the club struggled, being forced to compete in the relegation playoffs three times in four years. In 2018, the club signed a development agreement with second tier club SC Langenthal.^[3]

The team was bolstered by several major signings for the 2017–18 season, including Julia Marty, Rahel Enzler, and Darcia Leimgruber, and the team markedly improved, finishing fourth in the league for the regular season. After further adding Evelina Raselli and Noemi Ryhner ahead of the 2018–19 season, SC Reinach ranked second in the regular season.^[4]
