[edit] History

Larvik HK was founded on 31 May 1990 as a merger of the handball departments in the two clubs Larvik Turn and Halsen. They reached the top division on season 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 the strongest team on the Norwegian women's handball scene, only threatened by Byåsen. The last time they lost a league match at home was on 14 March 1999. As of May 2009, they have won the Norwegian Championship eleven times.
