SV Britannia was founded in 1958, when an official football team was organised for the local youngsters in Piedra Plat and vicinity. The colors of SV Britannia was chosen in the first board meeting: yellow and red. They played their first game in 1960, when beating Vitesse Cashero 3–1. The first board members were; Daniel "Vale" Croes, Henry "Henriche" Croes, Ripoldo Croes, Roland "Rolly" Bareño, Alfredo "Fechi" Bareño, Serapio "Jati" Weller, Joanquin Werleman, Hipolito "Poli" Pereira and Marcolino "Cholin" Erasmus.

SV Britannia promoted to the highest division (Division di Honor) in 2001. They clinched the league title so far in 2004–05, 2008–09, 2009–10, 2012–13 and subsequently took part in the 2006, 2007 and 2009 CFU Club Championship in an attempt to qualify for the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
