HJK is the championship's most successful team by a large margin, having won 22 titles between 1971 (its founding year) and 2005.[1] The team enjoyed their best winning streak between 1995 and 2001. The following HJK reached the semifinals of the inaugural edition of the UEFA Women's Cup, their best result in three appearances in the competition.
In the subsequent six years from 2005 it has failed to win the championship, finishing either 2nd, 3rd or 4th.[2] However, it has been more successful in the national Cup, including three titles in a row between 2006 and 2008.
