The squad was founded in the summer of 1990 under the name Phoenix Cardinals Cheerleaders. This was the first time in the Cardinals history that the cheerleading side of football was incorporated within the Cardinals organization. Before the summer of 1988, the Cardinals Cheerleaders were owned and run by a business outside the franchise.[1]

In March 1994, the Cardinals organization announced its name change to the Arizona Cardinals,[2] thus the cheerleaders changed their name to the Arizona Cardinals Cheerleaders, which is the name they still use today.

As of 2018, the group has 30 members.[3] The squad also has a "Junior Cheer Program", for young women aged 5–12.
