Founded March 13, 1958, the SFBACC was one of the earliest outposts of curling in the western United States. Its leadership was instrumental in founding other curling clubs throughout California and the West, loaning both expertise and assets – thousands of dollars of rocks and equipment – to help them establish. It was a charter member of what has expanded to become the Mountain Pacific Curling Association (originally the California/Oregon Association). The club was kept alive locally in the 80s and 90s by a small core of committed curlers, many of whom traveled more than an hour to Sharks Ice in San Jose to curl on Sunday mornings at 6am a few times a year.

After the 2006 Olympics, the club grew rapidly, and partnered with Sharks Ice to provide classes and leagues in both San Jose and Fremont. The club incorporated in December, 2007, and became a nonprofit 501(c)(3) in May, 2008.

In early 2010, the club expanded to the Oakland Ice Center, another Sharks Ice facility.
