In the summer of 1934, the Club organized the inaugural edition of Cupa societăţilor “Astra”, a trophy open for the Astra teams. At the time, only Astra Română Câmpina
was playing a district league. In order to make the cup more attractive, the society created three new football sides for the event: Astra Română Moreni, Astra Română Boldeşti
and Astra Română Unirea Hârsa.
After the 1937 edition of the Cup, the society decided to merge all of its teams and thus created Astra Ploieşti. The team was registered in Prahova's district league. Just a few months after the team's foundation, the society changed its name in Columbia and moved it to a ground located near the society's headquarters. The name Columbia was kept until 1945 when the team returned to its original name, Astra, but the stadium on which the team played is called Columbia to this day.
. Two years of pause passes for Astra, until 2005 when Ioan Niculae founded once again the club. In 2007 the club is renamed FC Ploieşti, but in 2009 after the promotion to the Liga I
, it comes back to its traditional name of Astra Ploieşti and the black and white colours, hence the team's old nickname, "The Black Devils".
The club's reserve team will play, starting the 2010/2011 season, in Liga II
.
In the current season, Astra's home kit consists of white and black stripped shirts, white shorts and white socks. The away shirts are decorated with red and black strips, making them similar to those of AC Milan. The shorts and socks are predominantly black, but they also include splashes of white.
The present Astra crest was adopted in July 2009, following the team's promotion from Liga II
. The design is based on a classical template, and is characterized by the same black and white stripes which can be found on the team's shirts. The numerous stars which adorn the crest have their origin in the club's name, with Astra (like Steaua) being a Romanian
word that translates as "star".
The enmity has increased mildly of late, as Astra has started to progressively finish on higher places than Petrolul.

Rivalries
Astra is engaged in a grudge with their cross-town rivals Petrolul Ploieşti. The rivalry however is mostly one-way based, because Astra was never a match for Petrolul's successes and fan involvement. Most Astra fans consider Petrolul as their main rivals, but the Yellow Wolves generally regard Rapid as their arch-enemies.The enmity has increased mildly of late, as Astra has started to progressively finish on higher places than Petrolul.
