FK Ribnica was founded in 1974, at Konik, the biggest settlement of Podgorica. There were several sports teams by the same name, but they no longer exist. The club is named after the Ribnica river, which flows through the Konik and Podgorica center.

In the 1994–95 season, FK Ribnica made the biggest victory in team history, against FK Tekstilac (9–1).
After the 2003–04 season, placed in 14th position, FK Ribnica was relegated from the Montenegrin Republic League after 20 consecutive seasons. At the end of that season, the team lost against FK Berane away with 1–11, which was the biggest defeat of FK Ribnica until then.

In the 2007–08 season, FK Ribnica won the title of the Third Montenegrin League – Central champion and in the playoffs against FK Mornar and FK Polimlje, they gained promotion to the Montenegrin Second League, which was the historical success for the club.
