Telstar entered a team in the 2011–12 women's Eredivisie and most of the AZ players signed for the newly formed club.[2]

In Januari 2022 AZ announced they were looking into restarting with a women's section.[3] Two months later AZ revealed they were going to financially support and were working closely with VV Alkmaar.[4] After AZ and VV Alkmaar already intensified their collaboration in 2022, AZ now takes the place of VV Alkmaar in the Azerion Women's Eredivisie starting from the 2023-2024 season.[5]

On 23 March 2023 Mark De Vries was confirmed as manager.[6][7]
