The club was established in 1991 in Sukhumi. Shortly afterwards, the War in Abkhazia forced the team to leave their home city, and relocate to the Georgian capital. Nevertheless, they managed to complete the 1992-93 season, and have been playing in Tbilisi ever since.
The club has played under several names over the years ("Sukhumi-91," "Kolkha," "SSU" and, since 2009, as "Sukhumi"). Their best result in the league is 4th place, which they achieved in 2011 and 2012.
In 2011, Sukhumi represented Georgia in the EuroChallenge tournament, but failed to progress through the qualifying round.
For much of its existence, the team has been coached by Vazha Kvaratskhelia.
