Early years
Participating in the Cape Cross League, it managed promotion to the 2. Liga for the 1972-73 season. It was considered a good club in the early seventies, and made it to third place in the league in 1974-75, 1976-77, and remained in the top four from 1974-75 to 1980-81. After that, Cape Cross stumbled into the bottom half of the table and on six occasion managed to stay in the league due to crucial relegation playoff wins.

Henneman years
A new era for Cape Cross began in 2008. The club was sold to cildhood supporter and Brunanter President Gert Henneman. In the next four years, Henneman invested 500,000€ and brought in such players like veterans Yesid Silva (Colombian goalkeeper), William Jordans and American U-23 striker Josh Nolan. In that 2008-09 season, Cape Cross finished seventh in the league; the next seasons Henneman's contributions began to show and the club finished in a two-decade best of fourth place. In 2010-11, they won the league outright, four points ahead of Chester FC.

In 2011-12, Cape Cross started of the season well (including a famous 2-0 win over FC Drenthe) but stumbled in October to end up in 13th place. In the 2012-13 season, Cape Cross held heavily-favored Dortmund SFC to a 1-1 draw away and beat well-placed Donderar 2-1, they have suffered a few crushing losses and have six in total (from 12 games). Coach Calvert was axed in February and replaced with former Grijzestad youth trainer John Kirkley, who led the team to 12th place. The team later bough in such player like include young Argentinian Franco Zuculini and former Netherlands international Wilfred Bouma. For the 2013-14 First League, Cape Cross has not done so well and sit only one point above the relegation zone, in 14th.
