Club Deportivo Oro is a football club that plays in the second division. It is based in the city of Guadalajara. The club was one of five clubs from the state of Jalisco to play in the Mexican first division. It only won one league title, back in 1962, and was runner-up five times in 1947, 1953, 1955, 1960 and 1964. After four years of absence the club was reformed and plays now in the second division.
The club's history dates back to 1923, when a group of jewelers got together and founded the club to promote their company. The club joined the old Liga Occidental De Jalisco. Albino Ruvalcaba and Felipe Martínez Sandoval were the ones that really took on the idea of making this club worthy of playing in the first division.
Back then there was no national league, but instead numerous amateur leagues across Mexico. Liga Amateur de Jalisco was one of the best at the time. It consisted of clubs such as Club Deportivo Guadalajara, Atlas de Guadalajara, Club Nacional de Guadalajara, Club Marte, Club Latino, Club Colón and Club Oriente. It took Club Oro a few years to establish a higher level of play, thus it was considered a weak team in the early 1930s. On 20 July 1930 the club inaugurated its new field Parque Oro, o Parque Oblatos in a friendly match against Mexico City club Necaxa. This new football field was used by most of the clubs at that time and was considered to be the best field in the state of Jalisco.[citation needed]
By 1933 there were nine clubs in the league and different categories were formed. There was an "A" and a "B" Division that were similar to a first and second division. The "A" was composed by Club Deportivo Guadalajara, Atlas de Guadalajara, Club Nacional de Guadalajara, Club Marte and Club Latino, The "B" by Club Colón, Oriente, Imperio and CD Oro due to the inferior level of these teams compared to those in the "A" Division.
Professional era
In 1943 when the professional football era began in Mexico, CD Oro missed the opportunity to join the league, however other teams in the Guadalajara metropolitan area region such as Club Deportivo Guadalajara, Atlas de Guadalajara did get an invitation that year. CD Oro saw this events as a wake-up call to get an invitation into the professionalism. CD Oro was finally invited to take part of the 1944–45 tournament along with Puebla FC and Club León, both teams had been taking part in other amateur leagues in Mexico. At the end of the 1948 tournament the club finished tied in first place along with Club León and so a series was played in order to determine the 1948 champion. The first match ended up in a 0–0 draw, the second match was won by Club León who took their first league title with a 2–0 victory.

The second half was dominated by Club León; they scored 3 goals and won the title once again.

In 1969 the club finished last in the league tied with Jabatos de Nuevo León.
