Representing the former Havana Province (Provincia de La Habana), Vaqueros won their first ever National Series in 2008–09, and reached the National Series final against Santiago de Cuba in 2004–05.
La Habana had three pitchers on the Cuban team at the 2006 World Baseball Classic: Yulieski González, Jonder Martínez and Yadier Pedroso.
The team ceased operation in 2011, as La Habana province was divided in two new provinces, Artemisa and Mayabeque, with their respective baseball teams, Cazadores de Artemisa (Hunters) and Huracanes de Mayabeque (Hurricanes).
