The history of the club begins in 1908 with the construction of the Temple of the Sanctuary of Pompeii promoted by Father Rupert, Capuchin friar secretary of Cardinal Vius i Tutó. Along with the construction of the temple, now known as the Church of the Virgin of the Rosary of Pompeii, numerous cultural and recreational activities were created coordinated and funded by a board created for this function. The board of this board, called the Association of Our Lady of Pompeii, was the one that would give way to the foundation of the Pompeii Sports Society in trying to promote exercise among the youth of the time. The Pompeii Sports Society in a short time acquired great fame and renown within the high class of Barcelona and the sport that developed with the most boom was tennis. This meant that the Board of Trustees was forced to look for larger land where various courts could be located that would serve as exclusive use of tennis, since before they had to be shared with various sports activities. The chosen place was located between the streets of Casanova, the Travessera de Gràcia, Santaló, Amigó and the Diagonal. Due to the rise of tennis among the Barcelona bourgeoisie and the expansion of the facilities, the number of participants grew considerably and of the 2 or 3 courts of the beginning, it became 8 in the 40s. On June 9, 1920, the company managed to get the Royal House to grant Pompeii the title of “Royal”, a title that few clubs in Spain had the right to hold.
In 1925, the Pompeii Sports Society, due to the dissolution of the Board of Trustees created by Father Rupert, was totally detached from the sanctuary. The club, which with the Franco regime became known as the Royal Pompeii Tennis Society, was able to resist the war. However, from the late 1940s the problems began. The increase in economic activity together with the large migratory movements of people from the countryside in the city led to a real estate boom, which increased the value of land located in the central areas of the cities. This fact caused that the stay of the club in a central area such as Travessera de Gràcia, was complicated, since these lands were rented. So in the early fifties, the club was forced to abandon its location.
After the club had to leave the land located in Travessera de Gràcia, they rented a local in Travessera de Gràcia, 13, where the members met to play cards. At the same time, José Bial Vila, president of the club at that time, together with the support of the president of the Spanish Tennis Federation, launched the project of requesting the Barcelona City Council to transfer the Club to the tennis courts located in the Parc de Montjuïc, which were then in disuse due to their poor condition. Finally, in the Plenary of the City Council, dated June 5, 1951 and through the private agreement between both parties, the Tennis enclosure of the Montjuïc Municipal Park was ceded to the Royal Pompeii Tennis Society for the installation of its sports field with the obligation to take care of the conservation of it in all its aspects. This enclosure, where the Reial Societat de Tennis Pompeia is located today, was built on the occasion of the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition, the work consisted of forming a tennis stand for the contest that would meet the necessary conditions so that international championship matches could be played during the Exhibition.
