The Cuban constitution ascribes the role of the party to be the "leading force of society and of the state". It was founded by [[Fidel Castro]] and [[Che Guevara]] on 3 October 1965 as a successor of the United Party of the Cuban Socialist Revolution, which was in turn made up of the 26th of July Movement and Popular Socialist Party that seized power in Cuba after the 1959 Cuban Revolution. They played a major role in the [[Cold War]], most notably as part of the Bay of Pigs invasion and the [[Cuban Missile Crisis]].

The PCC is a communist party based on democratic centralism, a principle conceived by [[Vladimir Lenin]], entails free and open discussion of policy issues within the party, followed by the requirement of total unity in upholding the agreed policies.

Raúl Castro stepped down as First Secretary on April 19, 2021, at the Party's Eighth Congress. Miguel Díaz-Canel, who has served as President of Cuba since 2018, was subsequently named the new First Secretary. This marked the official end of the Castro regime, which ruled Cuba since 1959.
