The club has won a record 41 First Division titles, a record 31 Senior Shields, a record 10 FA Cups and 3 League Cups. Nicknamed "Shaolin Temple" and "Caroliners", South China has produced many great Hong Kong footballers over the years. In November 2007, the club entered into a charity partnership with Hong Kong Red Cross; the partnership is a pioneer between a sports association and a humanitarian organisation in Hong Kong. The club plays; the Chinese Football Team was founded in 1904 by a group of Chinese students in Hong Kong, including Mok Hing and Tong Fuk Cheung. In 1910, the team was renamed as South China Football Club. In the 1917 Far Eastern Games and 1919 Far Eastern Games, the club represented the Republic of China and won the football championship, it is the only team in Hong Kong sports history. China lost in the final to the Philippines in the first to be held, in 1913, but in the next nine it won every time, right through until the last FECG to be held in 1934.

On that occasion China was a joint winner with Japan. Throughout these tournaments, the majority of the China team was composed of SCAA players. In 1920, South China which began as a club called the South China Athletic Association founded by Mok Hing. Around 1920–1922, the club formally adopted the present name of South China Athletic Association and diversified into other sports such as basketball. Since its foundation, South China had a Chinese only whereby the club would only field players of Chinese ethnicity. In keeping with this policy, the club would only sign foreign players had Chinese ancestry such as Edmund Wee, Chow Chee Keong and Chan Kwok Leung. Up until the 1980s, the policy did have a negative effect on results. However, when professional football took off in Hong Kong, the club could not cope with the influx of foreign players and performed poorly at the beginning of the 1981–1982 season. Therefore, on 2 November 1981 the club voted to end its six decade old Chinese only policy.

Although the club was able to avoid relegation that season, it was not incident-free. On 6 June 1982, after the club drew an all-important match with Caroline Hill, the fans rioted outside the stadium that spread onto Causeway Bay; the riot was the largest civil disorder in Hong Kong since the leftist riot in 1967. As they failed to beat Citizen in the last game of the 2005–06 season, South China was to be relegated for the first time since 1983. However, on 14 June 2006, the Hong Kong Football Association approved a request from South China to remain in the Hong Kong First Division with the promise of strengthening their squad. Staying true to their word, South China strengthened their squad and coaching staff; as a result, South China regained the First Division League title in the 2006–07 season, winning the Hong Kong FA Cup and the Hong Kong Senior Shield, achieving the famous treble. The team has gone from strength to strength, while the team has had continued success on the domestic front, winning three consecutive league titles in the process, it has had success in other international club competitions.

The team has reached the semi-finals of the 2009–10 AFC Cup. South China's success has seen the team climb in world club rankings to their new high of 145th surpassing other Mainland Chinese clubs which are considered to be of a better standard than clubs in Hong Kong. In recent years the South China has taken part in several pre-season exhibition matches with European clubs, with the most notable being a 2–0 win against the English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur. Much of the recent success has been attributed to the former chairman, Steven Lo, with his shrewd business sense he rebuilt the team as a brand, played a major role in reigniting interest in the Hong Kong Football League. South China have partnered with several organisations and brands. In 2007, South China has enter into a partnership with Hong Kong Red Cross; the partnership is a pioneer between a sports association and a humanitarian organisation in Hong Kong, South China is the first football team to bear the Red Cross emblem on the official kit.

The appointment of the fashion brand Giorgio Armani as the official tailor, has allowed South China to join some of the world's elite, with the brand being associated with Chelsea Football Club and the English national team. In celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the establishment of South China Football Team, world-renowned designer Philippe Starck produced a special edition of the "Peninsula Chair", with the faces of the team and the chairman printed on. Nicky Butt and Mateja Kežman played for South China during the 2010–11 season. Ahead of the 2014–15 season, AET chairman Wallace Cheung became the conveynor of the club, promising to spend $18–20 million per season; the domestic season was not a successful one as the club finished fourth in the league and did not win any silverware. The saving grace was a Season Playoff victory which allowed the club to directly qualify for the 2016 AFC Cup group stage. In 2016–17 South China reached their first cup final in six years, facing Kitchee in the 2016–17 Hong Kong FA Cup Final.

However, they were unable to capture the trophy. On 5 June 2017, South China made the shocking announcement that they would voluntarily self-relegate into the First Division; the club and Cheung had parte
