History

Cunupia won the 2016 Super League (second division) title, beating University of Trinidad and Tobago to the title on head-to-head.[3]

Cunupia finished fourth in the second division and won the second division knock-out in 2018 and was accepted to the top league in February 2019, although had their bid initially un-accepted in March 2019.[4][5]

In 2022 the team played in the Ascension League as Trinidad and Tobago did not have a professional league.[6]

The team returned to the top flight for the 2023 season after COVID interrupted the Trinidadian pro league.[7]
