Their most recent foray into European competition came in 2004-05, when Gustavo Manduca's calm finish gave them a 1-0 lead after the first leg of the UEFA Cup first-round tie against Rangers F.C.. They went out on penalties after a tense second leg, but still maintain a formidable home record against European opposition, beating the heavyweights Leeds United F.C. whilst said club were in their heyday.

Marítimo are now regarded as one of the top 6 or 7 clubs in Portugal, and are widely known throughout the Portuguese speaking world, in countries such as Brazil, Angola and Mozambique. The club's reserve team, C.S. Marítimo B, compete in the Portuguese Second Division.

The first ever match for Marítimo was a 2-1 win against Santa Clara, a select team comprised of workers of Western Telegraph Company, and soon after began playing teams of sailors from visiting British ships. José Rodrigues Barrinhas, an old fashioned attacking centre-half, made a name for himself in these games and in matches against the rivals CS Madeira.

The club also has a big fans base in Venezuela with sister club Club Sport Marítimo de Venezuela becoming Champions on several occasions from Caracas, Venezuela. The club was founded in 1959 by Portuguese immigrants living in Caracas, who based their new club on their favourite team from back home, CS Marítimo from the island of Madeira, who today compete in the Superliga. Even today, strong ties are kept between both clubs and their supporters from either side of the Atlantic ocean.

Rivalries
Marítimo's rivals are Nacional da Madeira. The Madeira derby is often associated with the clubs' followers' differing culture and way of life. The fans of Nacional da Madeira, being of a higher socio-economic status than those of Marítimo, were mainly lobbyists for the commercial expansion of Madeira, but the working class Marítimo followers were keen to preserve Madeira. This only exacerbates the ill-feeling between the clubs, which is made even more tense by the fact that controversial regional governor Alberto João Jardim is a self-confessed fan of Marítimo.

The rivalry heightened when Portuguese starlet Cristiano Ronaldo declined an offer from Marítimo in favour of Nacional Madeira, where his godfather was a member of the board.

Other rivalries are the Azores against Madeira derby where C.D. Santa Clara of Ponta Delgada the capital of the Azores share a fierce rivalry against Madeira teams, including C.D. Nacional and even more intensely against C.S. Maritimo where Politics also takes part in the Madeira and Azores derby with Madeira's controversial regional governor Alberto João Jardim being a self-confessed C.S. Marítimo supporter and also because of the heated relationship with the two regional governors, whilst the Azores regional governor, Carlos César is a self confessed Santa Clara fan.

Fans
Marítimo are known throughout the Portuguese speaking world and have significant fan bases in the former Portuguese colonies of Brazil, Angola and Cape Verde, as well as areas of North West USA, Canada, the United Kingdom (Specifically Jersey and London), South Africa and Venezuela.

Closer to home, the club has a proud reputation of being one of the most supported clubs in Portugal after the Big three, and the most popular club on their home island of Madeira, outranking local rivals Nacional and União. The club has over 35,000 registered members (sócios) and two predominant groups of Ultras, the Esquadrão Maritimista and the Ultras Templários, the bigger and more infamous of the two.

Stadium
Previously playing at the Campo do Almirante Reis until they moved out in 1957, Marítimo currently play their home games at the Estádio dos Barreiros, the municipality stadium of Funchal. Although uniquely picturesque, the stadium is rapidly ageing despite numerous facelifts over the years and, for the best part of a decade, the club has sought after an alternative site for a new stadium.

Prior to their October 2006 betandwin.com Liga clash against Naval 1º de Maio, the club announced that construction would begin on the brand-new 10,000 all-seated Estádio do Marítimo in the nearby Praia Formosa area of West Funchal. Although some concern has been expressed of the distance from the current stadium and the centre of Funchal (Located in the 'tourist zone' of the city), the brand new stadium on the outskirts of the city is well connected to Funchal's motorway network.

It was hoped that the stadium would be completed in time for the start of the 2008/09 season, however various set-backs, including a political war with the local government have lead to little progress towards the construction of the new stadium.
