Founded in 2007, Heerenveen was a founding member of the Vrouwen Eredivisie. After finishing last in 2008 and 2010 and second-to-last in 2009, in 2011 it attained its best result yet, finishing 4th and reaching the national cup final, lost against AZ Alkmaar.[3] In April 2011 the club announced the women's team would be disbanded following the end of the season,[4] but it subsequently cancelled the decision.[5] The following season Heerenveen returned to the bottom of the table, ending last.
In the 2012–13 season, Heerenveen moved in the newly founded BeNe League. It was the second-to-last Dutch team in the championship, an overall 11th position.
