Guangdong Evergrande played at the 2013 Club World Championship and claimed the bronze medal-winning 3–1 to Voléro Zürich.[1] The team had Shen Jingsi named Best Setter.[2]

In 2014, due to head coach Lang Ping resigning and the main sponsor Evergrande Group deciding to put more of their investment into football league, Guangdong Evergrande VC was demoted to Group B league of China because of the unsatisfactory result, for about two seasons.

In Season 2017/18, as the Group A league was expanded, Guangdong Evergrande VC returned to the Chinese Group A League.
