FC Pipinsried was formed in 1967 and, for most of its early history, the club was an amateur side in local Bavarian football. While based in
Upper Bavaria the club opted to enter the leagues of neighboring
Bavarian Swabia and started competitive football in the C-Klasse, the lowest tier of Bavarian football at the time, earning promotion to the B-Klasse in 1975. In 1978 it climbed another level, now to the A-Klasse, where it immediately won another championship and earned another promotion, now to the Bezirksliga in 1979. It first rose above the leagues of Swabia in 1989 when it finished runners-up of the
Bezirksoberliga Schwaben in the league's inaugural season. Pipinsried entered the
Landesliga Bayern-Süd for four seasons from 1989 to 1993 but never finished higher than eleventh in that time and, at the end of it, was relegated back to the Bezirksoberliga. The club spent the next six seasons back in the Bezirksoberliga Schwaben, coming close to promotion again in 1996 and 1998, when the side came third. It won the league championship the following season, 1998–99, and moved up to the Landesliga once more. Instead, Pipinsried was grouped in the new
Landesliga Bayern-Südwest. In this league, with a large number of former Landesliga Süd top-teams now promoted to the Bayernliga, Pipinsried won the inaugural league title in 2012–13 to earn promotion to the southern division of the Bayernliga. Another strong performance the following season saw the club finish third in the Bayernliga and qualify for the Regionalliga promotion round, where it was knocked out in the first round by
TSV 1860 Rosenheim. The club came third in the league again in
2014–15 and once more benefitted by a club above it deciding not to apply for a Regionalliga licence, thereby qualifying for the promotion round again. Pipinsried was defeated on aggregate by
VfR Garching in the first round. During the 2016–17 season, Pipinsried achieved its first-ever promotion to the
Regionalliga, the fourth tier of German football. The club secured its place in the league by defeating the
SpVgg Greuther Fürth II in the promotion play-offs, winning 3–2 in extra time after a 1–1 draw in the first leg. However, after two seasons in the fourth tier, Pipinsried were relegated back to the fifth-tier Bayernliga. The club returned to the Regionalliga Bayern in 2021 but were relegated again after two seasons. ==Current squad==
