The squad launched in 2010 as Team Sky, built in British Cycling's orbit with BSkyB's money and Dave Brailsford running it, and with a stated aim of putting a British rider in yellow within five years. It was assembled around stage racing from the outset: altitude camps, a large support staff, and a line of climbers whose job was to control a race rather than attack it.

Bradley Wiggins met the target in 2012, becoming the first British winner of the Tour de France. Chris Froome then won it in 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2017, adding the Vuelta in 2017 and the Giro in 2018. Geraint Thomas took the 2018 Tour and Egan Bernal the 2019 edition, the first Colombian to win it. Tao Geoghegan Hart won the 2020 Giro, Bernal the 2021 edition.

The Sky years also drew long-running scrutiny of the team's medical practices, through a UK Anti-Doping investigation into a delivery made to Wiggins at the 2011 Critérium du Dauphiné and a British parliamentary inquiry that examined the team's use of therapeutic use exemptions. Neither produced a sanction against the team.

Sky ended its backing in 2019 and the chemicals group INEOS took over mid-season, the team racing as Team INEOS from that May. It became INEOS Grenadiers in 2020, named after the off-road vehicle the company had started building. The Danish IT firm Netcompany came in as a co-title sponsor for 2026, making the team Netcompany-INEOS. The corporate entity behind every version of it has stayed the same.

Away from the Grand Tours the record is thinner. Wout Poels won Liège-Bastogne-Liège in 2016 and Michał Kwiatkowski Milan-San Remo in 2017. Filippo Ganna gave the team a time trial identity, taking world titles against the clock in 2020 and 2021, and Tom Pidcock won Strade Bianche in 2023 before leaving after the 2024 season. No rider won a Grand Tour for the squad between Bernal's 2021 Giro and the end of the 2025 road season.
