Movistar announced a women's squad in September 2017 and put it on the road for 2018, run inside the same Spanish organisation as the men's team and carrying the same sponsor and kit. The founding roster was built around Spanish riders, and the brief was to give them a professional programme at home.

Mavi García was on that first roster and won the Spanish time trial title in 2018, the team's opening season, before moving on after 2019. Lourdes Oyarbide took a stage of the Vuelta a Burgos Feminas in 2019. The squad spent its first two seasons as a second-tier UCI Women's Team and moved up to a Women's WorldTeam licence for 2020.

Annemiek van Vleuten arrived for 2021 and changed what the team was built for. She won the Challenge by La Vuelta that season, then in 2022 took the Challenge again, the Giro Donne, Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes and the first edition of the Tour de France Femmes, adding the world road race title at Wollongong that September.

She stayed a third season, winning the 2023 Giro Donne and the first edition of La Vuelta Femenina, the race that replaced the Challenge by La Vuelta. Van Vleuten retired at the end of 2023, closing three years in which the squad's stage-race programme had been organised around one rider.

Liane Lippert joined for 2023 and won a Tour de France Femmes stage that year, then Giro d'Italia Women stages in 2024 and 2025. Marlen Reusser came in for 2025 and won the Tour de Suisse Women overall, then the world time trial title in Kigali that September.

Cat Ferguson rode for the team as a stagiaire in the autumn of 2024, the year she won the junior world road race and time trial titles. She turned professional with Movistar in 2025 and won the Clásica Féminas de Navarra and a stage of the Tour of Britain Women in her first full season.
