Founded on 31 May 1939, Benfica is one of the oldest Portuguese volleyball teams.{{cite news|author=Alberto Miguéns|url=https://em-defesa-do-benfica.blogspot.pt/2011/10/uma-por-semana-voleibol.html|title=Uma Por Semana: Voleibol|trans-title=One per week: Volleyball|work=Em Defesa do Benfica|date= 21 October 2011|access-date=11 August 2012}} Not having the success and notability of other club sections such as basketball and roller hockey, Benfica's volleyball team won their first title 27 years after being founded.
=Road to the first title=
From 1965–66 to 1979–80, Benfica played ten Portuguese Cup finals, winning seven.{{cite news|author=Alberto Miguéns|url=https://em-defesa-do-benfica.blogspot.pt/2012/04/obrigado-querido-benfica.html|title=Obrigado! Querido! Benfica!|trans-title=Thank you, dear Benfica|work= Em Defesa do Benfica|date=2 April 2012|access-date=11 August 2012}} In 1980–81, led by coach Fernando Luís, Benfica finally achieved their first league title, with players such as Luís Quelhas, Manuel Silva, Jorge Infante, José Barros, João Abelho, Pedro Barros, Ilídio Ramos, and already with a young José Jardim appearing in some matches.{{cite book|author1=Carlos Perdigão|author2=António M.

=Second title and disbandment=
In a vibrating match against local rivals Sporting CP, trailing 2–0 at Nave de Alvalade, Benfica, now led by captain José Jardim, alongside teammates Nuno Brites, Luís Quelhas, Nilson Júnior, Eduardo Gallina, Miguel Silva, Márcio Karas, Davidkov, and Radoslav Peytchev, managed to recover the disadvantage and win the match 3–2, claiming their second title.{{cite news|author=Alberto Miguéns|url=https://em-defesa-do-benfica.blogspot.pt/2011_10_05_archive.html|title=Dia 39 302 SLB|trans-title=Day 39 302 SLB|work=Em Defesa do Benfica|date=5 October 2011|access-date=11 August 2012}}{{cite news|url=https://www.record.pt/modalidades/detalhe/voleibol-velhas-glorias-sofrem-no-banco.html|title=Voleibol: "Velhas" glórias sofrem no banco|trans-title=Volleyball: "Old" players suffer on the bench|work=Record|date=15 April 2005|access-date=11 August 2012}}{{cite news|title=Voleibol: Jogo especial marca reencontro de amigos|trans-title=Volleyball: Special match sets new friends gathering|url=https://www.record.pt/modalidades/detalhe/voleibol-jogo-especial-marca-reencontro-de-amigos.html|access-date=23 June 2018|work=Record|date=31 October 2007|language=pt}}
In the 1993–94 season, then club president Jorge de Brito decided to disband the volleyball team. The following president, João Vale e Azevedo, restarted it in 1996–97 but in the Third Division. Former player José Jardim led Benfica back to the first tier in 2000 with the help of players such as André Cabacinha, Nuno Brites, António Silva, and captain José Fernandez.{{cite news|author=Carlos Martiano|url=https://www.record.pt/modalidades/detalhe/jose-jardim-voleibolistas-do-benfica-sao-amadores-profissionais.html|title=José Jardim: "Voleibolistas do Benfica são amadores profissionais|trans-title=José Jardim: Benfica's volleyball players are profissional... amateurs|work=Record|date= 21 March 2000|access-date=11 August 2012}}{{cite news|title=Voleibol: Benfica regressa ao escalão principal|trans-title=Volleyball: Benfica return to top tier|url=https://www.record.pt/modalidades/detalhe/voleibol-benfica-regressa-ao-escalao-principal.html|access-date=23 June 2018|work=Record|date=19 March 2000|language=pt}}
