The club was formed by a merger of Beitar Bat Yam and Maccabi Bat Yam. Following another merger, with Maccabi Holon, the club became known as Maccabi Holon Bat Yam and was placed in the South A division of Liga Bet.^[1] In 2004, after Hapoel Bat Yam dissolved, the club was renamed to Maccabi Ironi Bat Yam, and in its first season playing with that name, the club won the South A division, and was promoted to Liga Alef.^[2] In 2007–08 they won the South division of Liga Alef, and were promoted to Liga Artzit.
