History

Tijuca reached the final of the state championship nine times, losing them all. In the last three finals, in 2010, 2011 and 2012, Tijuca lost to Flamengo. But in 2011, the team won the Super Copa Brasil, after a game against Liga Sorocabana, and acquired the right to dispute NBB 2011–12. In that season, Tijuca finished the regular season in twelfth place. In the playoffs, the team was beaten by Uberlândia.
