Mar Menor Club de Fútbol was founded in 2007, after the disappearance of AD Mar Menor-San Javier. The club first reached Tercera División in 2010, after three seasons of existence.

In February 2017 the club changed its crest and its denomination to Mar Menor Football Club.[3] In 2021, the club achieved promotion to the newly-formed Segunda División RFEF.

On 7 July 2023, Mar Menor moved to the city of Cartagena after the club reached an agreement with Cartagena FC to use their facilities; the club was also renamed to Racing Cartagena Mar Menor Fútbol Club, with Racing Murcia FC becoming their reserve team.[4] In June of the following year, however, after being relegated from Segunda Federación, the club suffered another administrative relegation due to debts,[5] and subsequently went inactive after not registering for the Preferente Autonómica.
