Having been promoted to the Liga Nacional in 2001 under coach Benjamín Monterroso, Jalapa won the domestic cup three times, in 2002, 2005, and 2006.

The club's biggest achievement has been winning the 2007 Apertura tournament, which was the first national championship won in the club's history. The title earned them a berth in the CONCACAF Champions League 2008-09.

Jalapa won their second league championship by defeating Guatemalan great C.S.D. Municipal in the clausura 2009 final. This is their second championship in two years by which they have written history in Guatemala.
