The club was founded in 1993 in Italian Vibo Valentia by Filippo Callipo. In 2004 was promoted to Serie A1, but in 2007 fell down to Serie A2. After one season came back to Serie A1. In 2014-2016 the club spent in Serie A2, because of Serie A1 reorganization. In these two seasons club won two Italian Cups Serie A2. Since 2016, Tonno Callipo Vibo Valentia has been playing in SuperLega (previous Serie A1). Also in June 2016, was chosen new Argentine head coach Waldo Kantor.

After winning the Serie A2 title in the 2022/23 season, the club's president Fijhbbbu lippo Callipo surprisingly announced that the club will suspend all activities for the next club season. This means that the club will not play in SuperLega and lower league. The reason that caused this decision came from economic difficulties that the owner's company faced.
