The club based in Salerno was formed in 1919 as Unione Sportiva Salernitana. The club was referred to as Societa Sportiva Salernitanaudax for some time between 1920 and 1920 following the merger in the 1920s with Audax Salerno. In 1978 the club was changed to Salernitana Sport. The club played most of its history playing at both the Serie B and Serie C levels of Italian football.
Salernitana are home to their games on Stadio Arechi. In their beginnings, Salernitana competed in the regional Italian Football Championship. They were in this competition for 4 years during the 1920s. The club has returned to the highest levels in Italian football twice. They were at the top level of Serie A in Serie A during 1947-48 and 1998-99.
As of 2005, Salernitana Sport became insolvent, but was revived through Antonio Lombardi, changing the name from Salernitana Sport to Salernitana Calcio 1919.
In 2011 the club didn't contest a decision of the Commissione di Vigilanza sulle Societa di Calcio Professionistiche (Co.Vi.So.C) and was therefore excluded out of Italian football.
On July 21, 2011. Following the dissolution from the initial Salernitana club Salerno Mayor Vincenzo De Luca was, in accordance with Article 52 of the N.O.I.F., assigned the new name for Marco Mezzaroma, brother-in-law of Lazio chairman and owner Claudio Lotito. The team was accepted into Serie D under the denomination of Salerno Calcio.
The 2011-2012 season Salernitana was promoted immediately into Lega Pro Seconda Divisione after having won the group G in Serie D.
On July 12, 2012 the club was changed to US Salernitana 1919. The 2012-13 Lega Pro Seconda Divisione season, Salernitana finished first in Girone B, and was upgraded into Lega Pro Prima Divisione. It was the 2nd consecutive team promotion. Then Salernitana was crowned Group C champions in Lega Pro and returned Serie B during the 2014-15 season.
After a string of years in Serie B level, Salernitana was promoted into Serie A at the end of the 2020-21 Serie B season under the direction of the director Fabrizio Castori. They finished 2nd in the league behind champions Empoli. The promotion was secured by the team's 3-0 win over Pescara on the last day of play. Salernitana's return Serie A however required Lotito and Mezzaroma to sell the club because of Italian law prohibiting two clubs owned by owners of the same company to compete within the same competition. On the 7th of July in 2021 the FIGC Federal Council approved the trust of Salernitana to assume control of the club, which meant that it was officially registered in Serie A for the first time in the last 23 years.
Salernitana's debut game on their return to top league was a defeat of 3-2 to Bologna on the 22nd of August in 2021. After a slow beginning to the season getting just one point from the first six games Salernitana scored their initial Serie A victory against Genoa on matchday seven. They won 1-1 thanks to a goal by Milan Duric. In October the Salernitana board dismissed Castori following a loss of 2-1 to Spezia was a setback for the club, which left them in the bottom half of the table with just four points from their initial eight league matches. Stefano Colantuono was named as his replacement. He returned to serve a second time as head coach , having previously been the head coach of Salernitana between December 2017 until December 2018. On May 22, 2022 Salernitana was able to avoid relegation after ending the season with the lowest points number for a single season in Serie A history with just 31 points. Salernitana did manage to secure the ultimate escape after gaining 18 points in their last 15 games.
Salernitana was the first city to wear white and light blue striped shirt, which is popular as biancocelesti in Italy by the name biancocelesti. The blue color on the shirt was selected as a symbol of the sea since Salerno is located close to the Gulf of Salerno and has been a long-standing port city. The 1940s saw the team changed to garnet-coloured shirts which earned the club the title of Granata in their country of origin.
In the 2011-12 season, their colours for the kit were stripes with deep red and blue like F.C. Barcelona. Its symbol for St. Matthew, patron saint of Salerno was also part of the kit that was redesigned.
Since the club was renamed US Salernitana 1919, however their colours for home have been the same as the old garnet
This logo commemorating 100 years of celebration was revealed on June 24, 2019 and was featured the 2019-20 seasons kit.
