History [edit]
Larvik HK was founded on 31 May 1990 as a merger of the handball departments in the two clubs Larvik Turn and Halsen. They played in the top division since 1992/93. During their first year they were close to relegation, but managed to remain on top. They saw their breakthrough the following season, as they won the league title and played the Norwegian Cup final.
Larvik is currently, since the late 1990s, the strongest team on the Norwegian women's handball scene. Last time they lost a league match at home was on 14 March 1999. May 14, 2011 the club won the Champions League title for the first time.
