The Club was founded by Carmelo Santoro in May 21, 1950. The first players and fans of the team were the employees of the Ferrocarril General Urquiza that needed a ground to play in saturday afternoons. It was indeed an amateur club until 1970, when they were afilliated to the Argentine Football Association and played their first season in Aficionados category that was later renamed Primera D Metropolitana.
Ferrocarril Urquiza has played in Primera D Metropolitana, the lowest division organized by AFA in the Buenos Aires region, never to gain a promotion to a higher category. The club does not have any title whatsoever.
The stadium is located in Villa Lynch, San Martin, Gran Buenos Aires. It has capacity for 500 spectators and doesn't have artificial lights. Prior to Ferrocarril Urquiza, this field was used by the defunct Sportivo Palermo, where famous goalkeeper Amadeo Carrizo first appeared.
The official shirt is light blue and white and the away shirt is blue. It is currently made by Brazilian sports manufacturer Penalty.
