It was introduced on 21 October 1996 and initially it was managed by the Instituto Superior de Engenharia e Ciências do Mar (ISECMAR), later the School of Maritime Sciences, and finally a campus of the University of Cape Verde, until its redelegation in August 2009 by the current National Communications Agency. The technical manager, originally the Foundation for the National Scientific Information of Portugal ("Fundação para a Computação Científica Nacional", "FCCN"), a non-profit organisation who managed the  .pt domain name) transferred the rights and obligations managing the top level domains to dns.,pt, the association including the transfer of management rights by the IANA was published for the .cv in June 2014. ANAC is part of the group LusNIC, an entity which includes top-level domains of other countries including .br (Brazil), .gw (Guinea-Bissau), .pt (Portugal), .st (São Tomé and Príncipe) and .ao (Angola). This is why the .cv domain shares a part of the .pt network infrastructure (notably for a part of its DNS servers), and its technical management is delegated to the DNS.PT association .
