After having won group D in Serie C, the club was in first position in Serie B when 2019–20 season was interrupted because of the restrictions related to the breakup of COVID-19 pandemic;[5] the end standings were determined based on a corrective coefficient, resulting in a first place for Napoli Femminile and thus promotion to Serie A.[6] In 2020–21 Serie A season the club ended in 10th position, avoiding the relegation in the last match of the championship.[7] In 2021–22 Serie A season the club ended again in 10th position, but cannot avoid relegation in Serie B since the number of relegated club increased to have ten teams in the following season; relegation arrived in the last match of the season after losing against Pomigliano.[8] In 2022–23 Serie B season the club ended in first position ahead of Lazio and thus promoted to Serie A after one season in the second tier.[9]
