The 2011 season turned out unsuccessful for RB Brasil. They ended the league's first phase with an 8-4-6 win-draw-loss record, resulting in a fifth place finish and thus failing to move to phase 2 by 4 points. 2012 was much more successful for the club. They finished in 3rd in the regular season in Campeonato Paulista Série A2 but were then knocked out in the semi-final stage, finishing 3rd in their group.
The team was the 2014 Campeonato Paulista Série A2 runner-up and was promoted to the Campeonato Paulista Série A1. In 2015, the team reached the quarter-finals, where they lost to São Paulo.
