Although the party was founded in 1991 (following the dissolution of the Italian Communist Party, and its youth section, the FGCI), the young members of the party did not have a stable organization until the middle of 1994, when Marco Rizzo created the Giovani Comunisti.

The first National Assembly took place in Chianciano in February 1996. In December 1997 the first National Convention of the GC took place. On this occasion two documents were presented. The party majority won with its own document gaining 67.8% of the vote. From the 4th to 7 July 2002 the second National Convention took place in Marina di Massa.

Since its formation in 1994 the GC have become a growing part of the Italian left movement, and since the G8 summit in Genova (2001) the organization has become a major player in Italian youth politics.

The Giovani Comunisti on a worldwide platform are affiliated to the World Federation of Democratic Youth.

During the VII National Conference, held the 15th and 16th of July 2023, Paolo Bertolozzi was elected as chairperson.
