During the 2013 season, Antigua Barracuda played all of their matches on the road, thus being a travelling team. The team became the first team in the history of United States soccer leagues to lose every single one of their matches, amassing a record of 0-26-0, scoring 11 goals and conceding 91.

Outside of USL Pro, Antigua Barracuda played in the 2013 CFU Club Championship, being a club based in a CFU-member nation. There, they finished in third place in their group, losing one match and tying another. Barracuda did not participate in the Antigua and Barbuda FA Cup, and did not qualify for the USL Pro Playoffs.

Following the conclusion of the 2013 season, Antigua Barracuda FC folded due to financial difficulties.
