Rangdajied United has participated in various editions of the Shillong Premier League and enjoyed massive rivalries with their fellow Shillong based clubs Shillong Lajong and Royal Wahingdoh. In September 2012, the club reached semi-finals of Bordoloi Trophy. The club has participated in the 2013 I-League 2nd Division and qualified for the main round. Having won the 2013 I-League 2nd Division final round held in Bangalore, Rangdajied United earned qualification to I-League. On 20 November 2013, Rangdajied agreed the signings of India national team stars Gouramangi Singh, Subrata Pal, Sandesh Jhingan, Manandeep Singh, and Tomba Singh, and competed in the 2013–14 season. They ended their league campaign with 25 points in 24 matches, securing eleventh position in league table, but made headlines by defeating table toppers Bengaluru 3–2 at home. In the following season Rangdajied was evicted from I-League for not fulfilling the Asian Football Confederation's club licensing criteria.

After clinching the 2013 edition of Shillong Premier League, Rangdajied finished as runners-up in 2016 season. In 2015–16 season, the club was managed by Khlain Pyrkhat Syiemlieh, who cleared the AFC A licence at that time. Rangdajied then became a regular participant in Meghalaya State League, formed in 2017. Later in 2019 season, they again achieved runners-up position, gaining 22 points in 12 matches. The club finished as runners-up in second edition of the Meghalaya State League.
