Lillehammer FK was established in 1969 as a result of a merger of Lillehammer clubs SK Mesna and FK Fremad Lillehammer (founded 1911). The club played its first season, the 1969 season, in 4. divisjon. In the following 1970 season, danish full-time coach Frank Gaba was hired.[2]
The club went through a period as Faaberg Fotball Lillehammer after a merger at the end of the season in 1999 between the senior team of Lillehammer FK and the football department of Faaberg IL; Faaberg Fotball. Ahead of the 2010 season the entire club Lillehammer FK incorporated the senior and junior team of FF Lillehammer, which thus ceased to exist,[3] while Faaberg IL reverted to fielding its own team.
Lillehammer FK played in the 3. divisjon from the 2013 season, after a period in the 2. divisjon since the 2009 season, having avoided relegation after the 2010 season due to the bankruptcy of FC Lyn Oslo. In the 2017 season, Lillehammer relegated to the fifth tier and have played in 4. divisjon since then.
