In October 2022, the BCCI announced its intentions to hold a five-team women's franchise cricket tournament in March 2023. The tournament was named the Women's Premier League in January 2023, with investors buying the rights to franchises through a closed bidding process during the same month. Diageo, the owners of Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League, bought the rights to one of the franchises.

In February 2023, Ben Sawyer was announced as head coach of the side. The inaugural player auction for the WPL was held on 13 February 2023, Royal Challengers Bangalore signing 18 players for their squad. On 18 February 2023, Smriti Mandhana was announced as the team's captain. The side finished fourth in the group stage at the inaugural tournament.

In September 2023, Luke Williams was announced as the head coach for the 2024 season. The side won three of their five Bangalore-leg matches, and then they went on to win one match out of their next three matches. Ending the league stage with four wins, the side qualified for the playoffs.

In the final, they defeated Delhi Capitals to win the title, this was the franchise's maiden title across both men's and women's leagues.
