In 2004, Ulbra was the Campeonato Gaúcho's runner-up. The club beat Grêmio 3-1 in the semifinals, but was defeated by Internacional in the final. [5] The club competed again in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série C and was eliminated by Hermann Aichinger in the second stage. [6]
In 2005, the club entered the national cup competition, the Copa do Brasil, for the first time. Ulbra was eliminated in the first round by Treze.[7] In 2006 the club competed in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série C, but was eliminated in the second stage of the competition,[8] and in 2007, the club was eliminated in the third stage of the championship.[9]
The club was renamed to Universidade Sport Club in December 2009.[10] The club was renamed to Canoas Sport Club on November 26, 2010.[11]
