In the 1920s several clubs appeared in the town of Estella; The Sport Club Estellés, C.D. Iberia, Unión Deportiva Estellesa and C.D. La Estrella which they faced together with soldiers of the Military Orders disputing local tournaments.

Finally, the C.D Izarra appeared. The club was founded on January 6, 1924 and joined the other teams in the tournament dispute. In 1943 its first ascent to Tercera Division takes place. After several decades playing between national and regional division.
