AAC defeated its first opponent Saint-Quentin 13-0 just in the first few months of the club's creation. In April 1902 the Comite of Picardie of l'U.S.F.S.A was established by the then-president of AAC (Henri-Frederic Henri-Frederic Petit). AAC was the dominant team in the initial USFSA league for the first 12 years. The 1909 season saw the team was granted a new stadium located at Henry Daussy Park, allowing the attendance to exceed 1,000.

Amiens participated in Ligue 2 between 2001 and 2009.

The team was able to return to the second-tier of French football during this 2017-17 campaign after finishing 3rd at the Championnat National. Their return to Ligue 2 was the most successful of their history in that they finished runners-up and advanced to the top tier of Ligue 1 for the first time in their history. It was an incredible move, also, since they could have been pushed from the promotion ranks had it not been for a crucial last-minute goal in the final match with Reims.

In the season of 2018-19, Amiens finished in 15th spot on the table. The club made sure they stayed alive with an 2-1 win over eliminated EA Guingamp.
