SC Corinthians Paulista - Dames

First spell

In 1994 Corinthians co-opted a promotional futsal team of teenaged models run by the Flash Book modeling agency and featuring a 15-year-old Milene Domingues to be their club women's team.

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) successfully encouraged Corinthians and its other leading clubs to form female teams after the national women's team's performance exceeded expectations at the 1996 Olympics. After an unassuming 11 years, Corinthians' women's team was scrapped ahead of the 2009 season. The unhappy players were threatening to sue the management, as the only player with a legitimate contract was Cristiane Rozeira, whose salary had been paid by a local hospital.

Corinthians/Audax era

In 2015 Corinthians decided to return to women's football and agreed a partnership with Grêmio Osasco Audax Esporte Clube, whose women's section had debuted in the 2015 Campeonato Paulista. The collaboration was confirmed in early 2016. A draft in February 2016 assigned Brazil women's national football team players Letícia and Rafinha to the combined Corinthians Audax team, who went on to win the 2016 Copa do Brasil de Futebol Feminino.

Corinthians Audax won the 2017 Copa Libertadores Femenina by beating Colo-Colo of Chile on a penalty shootout. Shortly thereafter Corinthians announced that they were withdrawing from the agreement with Audax and would enter the Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol Feminino themselves. A change in CONMEBOL rules meant that from 2019 clubs wishing to participate in continental competitions had to run their own women's teams.

Second spell: the formation of a dynasty

The sole Corinthians team created a dynasty: extended their total of Copa Libertadores Femenina to four (2017, 2019, 2021, 2023), won five national championships in seven finals (2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023), and wins four Campeonato Paulista (2019, 2020, 2021, 2023) and the inaugural Supercopa do Brasil Feminina in 2022 and the edition of 2023
