The club was founded as Maccabi Beit Lid in 1951 by Victor Atiyah, and in 1962 was renamed Maccabi HaSharon Netanya.

Although the club made an immediate return to Liga Bet, they were relegated again in 1981–82 and did not return to Liga Bet until 2008–09, after winning Liga Gimel Sharon division in the previous season.
