The Kolkata-based club played their first match in 1889 against Eden Hindu Hostel students and lost that game by 1–0. The first tournament that the club participated in was the 1893 Coochbehar Cup, where they struggled to perform. The club achieved its first success by winning the 1904 Coochbehar Cup. The Mariners won the Coochbehar Cup once again in the next year and also lifted the Gladstone Cup. Then they went on to win the Minto Fort tournament. Mohun Bagan won the Coochbehar Cup in 1907 and 1908, and then both the Laxmibilas Cup and the Gladstone Cup in 1909 and 1910.

In 1909 and 1910, the team got the honour to play in the IFA Shield among only a few other native clubs for consistent performances over the recent years. However, they struggled to perform against the regiment teams of British and British Indian armies in the first two years. But, finally, in 1911, Mohun Bagan formed a dominant side for the IFA Shield and became the first native team to lift the IFA Shield, that too in front of a huge crowd.

Till now the club has won the top-flight football league a record six times. They have won the National Football League thrice, and the I-League twice. They are one of the most successful Indian clubs in the history of the Federation Cup, having won the championship a record 14 times. The club also won several other trophies, including the Durand Cup a record 17 times, the IFA Shield (22 times), the Rovers Cup (14 times) and the Calcutta Football League (30 times). They added the 2023-24 ISL League Winners Shield to their trophy cabinet after beating Mumbai City FC by 2-1.
