Atlético Grau returned to Liga 1 in 2022 after winning the Liga 2 title the previous year, and Piura's only club in the Peruvian top flight now measures each season against staying there.

That first promotion took decades to arrive. Founded on 5 June 1919, the club spent over half a century in regional football before winning the 1972 Copa Perú, the result that sent it into the top division for the first time. For years that remained the only national title in the club's history; a 2002 Copa Perú final loss to Atlético Universidad, 5-3 on aggregate, and a runner-up finish in 2017 to Escuela Municipal Binacional, decided on goal difference after a 0-0 draw, kept the wait going.

It ended in 2019, when Atlético Grau beat Sport Huancayo on penalties, 4-3 after a scoreless final, to win the Copa Bicentenario — the club's first title of the professional era. A year later came the Supercopa Peruana, a 3-0 win over Deportivo Binacional, before the 2021 Liga 2 championship completed the run back to the top flight.

The white shirt that gives the club its common nickname, Los Blancos, dates only loosely to the founding kit, which carried the red and yellow of Spain; white took over as the season went on and has stayed since, confirmed again as the primary colour in 2021 and 2022. An older tag, Los Académicos, has followed the club since the 1930s.

Home games are played at the Estadio Miguel Grau in Piura, a stadium holding around 25,000 that carries the same name as the naval officer the club itself is named after.
