History
Founding and first league tournament
Club de Fútbol Tigres de la Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León Femenil was founded on December 5, 2016, the same day that the Liga MX Femenil was announced. In preparation for the first season of the Liga MX Femenil in the second half of 2017, the team participated in a preparation tournament, the 2017 Copa MX Femenil under the management of Miguel Razo. On July 13, 2017, previous to the start of the league, former Tigres player and club legend, Osvaldo Batocletti, was appointed as manager of the team with the previous manager Miguel Razo becoming his assistant. Tigres Femenil's first league match in history was a 0–0 draw against Querétaro on July 29, 2017.
In its first Liga MX Femenil tournament (Apertura 2017), Tigres ended the regular phase of the tournament in 2nd with 34 points, but they would eventually be eliminated in the semifinals of the play-offs by Pachuca.
First title and continuous success
Tigres Femenil obtained its first league title by winning the Torneo Clausura 2018. For this tournament, Tigres ended the regular phase of the tournament in 3rd place with 31 points. In the semifinals of the playoffs, Tigres defeated América with an aggregate scoreline of 5–1 to advance to the final against their crosstown rivals Monterrey which would be the first of many Clásico Regiomontano finals in the Liga MX Femenil. Tigres would end up defeating Monterrey in the final on penalties (2–4) after a 4–4 draw on aggregate. The second leg of this final at the Estadio BBVA was at the time the highest attended club match in women's football history.
On May 7, 2018, just a few days after the Clausura 2018 final, Osvaldo Batocletti decided to step down from the position of manager in order to receive treatment for a Cancer. Ramón Villa Zevallos was appointed by the club to take over the position of manager with Batocletti becoming his assistant.
Under Villa Zevallos' management, the team once again reached the league final in the Apertura 2018 tournament after finishing in 1st place in the regular phase with 40 points. In the playoffs Tigres eliminated Atlas in the quarter-finals (2–1), and Guadalajara (5–3) the semifinals. In the final, Tigres was defeated by América on penalties (1–3) after a 3–3 draw on aggregate.
In the Clausura 2019, Tigres ended the regular phase of the tournament in 3rd place with 36 points. In the playoffs, Tigres was once again able to reach the final. In the final Tigres defeated Monterrey once again with an aggregate scoreline of 3–2 to crown themselves league champions for the second time.
Ramón Villa Zevallos left his position of manager on May 30, 2019, just after one season in order to take the position of manager of C.D. Guadalajara. The club announced former Mexico women's national football team manager, Roberto Medina, as the new manager of the team on May 31, 2019.
With Medina at the helm, the team once again reach the league final in the Apertura 2019 after ending the regular phase of the tournament in 2nd place with 43 points. In the final, Tigres once again faced Monterrey on the third Clásico Regiomontano femenil final. Unlike in the previous two finals, Monterrey was able to win this final after defeating Tigres 2–1 on aggregate.
