History

edit

Larvik HK was founded in 1990 as a merger of the handball departments in the two clubs Larvik Turn and Halsen.[1] They played in the top division since 1992/93.[citation needed] During their first year they were close to relegation, but managed to remain on top.[citation needed] They saw their breakthrough the following season, as they won the league title in 1994,[2] and played the Norwegian Cup final.[citation needed]

From the late 1990s, Larvik was the strongest team on the Norwegian women's handball scene over a period of about twenty years, winning the league 19 times and the cup 17 times between 1994 and 2017.[1] Last time they lost a league match at home was on 14 March 1999 before their first defeat in 18 years came against Vipers Kristiansand on 29 March 2017.[citation needed] On 14 May 2011, the club won the Women's EHF Champions League title for the first time.[1]

On 14 May 2019, exactly 8 years after winning the Champions League, the club was degraded to 1. divisjon, after losing their elite license due to financial reasons.[3] In 2020 the club again qualified for REMA 1000-ligaen, the Top Division.[4]
