The club was founded in 1922 as ''Tczewski Sports Club'' changing its name in 1924 to ''TKS Olympia Tczew''. In 1929 the team joined the Pomeranian OZPN and received support from the Railway Military Training and as a result became ''KPW Unia Tczew''. In 1938, the Unia achieved their greatest success in their inter-war history - 3rd place in Class A (second tier). In the 2006–07 season, Unia advanced from the District Class to the IV liga. Unia remained in the league until the 2008–09 season, when the team appeared in the reformed Pomeranian IV liga (fifth level). In 2009, the football section was merged with Wisła Tczew creating Gryf 2009 Tczew. After the merger the club never officially reformed with a first team in the Polish leagues. In 2012 however to celebrate 90 years since the team's creation, Unia was reformed again for the 2012–13 Polish Cup, playing a total of three games in their run. The club has fielded teams in the regional Polish Cup since, but has not entered a team into a league competition since 2009, now focusing on running the club with the main focus being on youth development and on youth teams.
