The club Unión América was founded on Lima.[1]

Unión América, in 1928, took part in the Tercera División Provincial de Lima, in the first group. In the following years, it gradually progressed through the upper divisions, although the structure of the Peruvian league system changed over time.

Unión América won the Liga Provincial de Lima title in 1954 and was promoted to the Peruvian Segunda División for the 1955 season, where it finished third. The following year, it was runner-up.

In the 1958 Peruvian Segunda División, it won the championship and earned promotion to the 1959 Peruvian Primera División; however, it was relegated in that same season.[2]

The club returned to the Second Division for the 1960 season and competed for several more years until it was relegated in 1968 season, dropping to the Liga Provincial de Lima. Unión América later descended again and returned to its league of origin. It ultimately continued participating in the Third District Division of Lima until 1987.
