History

Gijón Jovellanos was founded in 2009 with the aim to be the main handball club in the city grouping the players of the top farm teams in the city.

In its two first seasons competed in Primera Estatal, the third tier, promoting to División de Plata in 2011.

In the 2011–12 season, Gijón Jovellanos qualified for the promotion playoffs to Liga ASOBAL, played in Cangas do Morrazo, but failed in the semifinals against CB Cangas. This promotion was achieved in the next season on 13 April 2013, after beating CB Puente Genil in Gijón by 25–22. Finally, Gijón Jovellanos qualified in second position behind FC Barcelona B.

For playing in Liga ASOBAL, the club moved from Pabellón de La Arena to the Palacio de Deportes. In the first season in the Spanish top league, the Gijón Jovellanos finished in the 12th position and reached the quarterfinals of the 2013–14 Copa del Rey.
