It was established in 2000 under the name of "Cycling Horsens".

On September 9, 2014, the team announced they had signed [[Linus Gerdemann]] from {{UCI team code|MTN|2014}} on a 2-year contract.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/gerdemann-to-join-cult-energy-in-2015|title=Gerdemann to join Cult Energy in 2015|author=Cycling News|work=Cyclingnews.com|date=9 September 2014 }}</ref> On October 10, 2014, the team announced they had signed [[Gustav Larsson]] on a one-year contract <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bikeworldnews.com/2014/10/10/cult-energy-pro-cycling-adds-gustav-larsson-roster/|title=CULT Energy Pro Cycling adds Gustav Larsson to roster|work=Bike World News|date=10 October 2014 }}</ref>

In August 2015, the team seemed to secure its survival after gaining sponsorship from German company Stölting Group, which sponsored the Continental team [[Team Stölting|Stölting]] in 2015. As a result, the teams planned to join forces, giving the necessary budget to ensure the team could stay in the Professional Continental tier for 2016.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/cult-energy-team-saved-thanks-to-new-sponsor-stlting-group/|title=Cult Energy team saved thanks to new sponsor Stölting Group|author=Cycling News|work=Cyclingnews.com|date=20 August 2015 }}</ref> However, in December 2015, Cult announced they would exit the sport and no longer be able to fund the team. Stölting then stepped in to fill the funding void, continuing the team under a German license.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/stolting-step-in-to-save-team-after-cult-energy-departure/|title=Stolting step in to save team after Cult Energy departure|author=Cycling News|work=Cyclingnews.com|date=16 December 2015 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest-news/could-cult-energys-withdrawal-as-danish-team-sponsor-lead-to-bjarne-riiss-return-203366|title=Could Cult Energy's withdrawal as Danish team sponsor lead to Bjarne Riis's return? - Cycling Weekly|date=9 December 2015|work=Cycling Weekly}}</ref> As a result, the Danish team disbanded.
