Since Real Salt Lake's first MLS season, the club has met the Rapids for the Rocky Mountain Cup, awarded by regular-season points across their meetings.

The club itself began as an expansion franchise, awarded to a group led by Dave Checketts in 2004, not a relocation of an existing team. The team played its early home games at the University of Utah's Rice-Eccles Stadium before moving into what is now America First Field, built in the city of Sandy and opened in 2008.

Ownership changed hands more than once — Checketts sold to Dell Loy Hansen in 2013, Hansen departed after a racism scandal, MLS ran the club during the search for a buyer, and Ryan Smith and David Blitzer took over in 2022. Gail Miller's Miller Sports + Entertainment group, previously best known for owning the Utah Jazz, bought the controlling stake in 2025.

On the field, the identity was built early. Nick Rimando held the goal for 13 seasons and left as MLS's all-time leader in appearances, minutes, saves and shutouts, and he was named MVP of the 2009 MLS Cup final. Kyle Beckerman captained that same team and went on to set the league's appearance record among outfield players across 14 seasons in claret and cobalt. The run that followed the 2009 title carried Real Salt Lake to a losing MLS Cup final in 2013, a runner-up finish in the CONCACAF Champions League in 2011, and a US Open Cup final loss that same year as the 2013 Cup run.
