Their first season was the 2013–14 Damehåndboldligaen.^[1] The team finished 13th, one position above the relegation play off.^[3]

In the 2016-2017 season, they reached the championship playoff for the first time.^[1]

The club won the Danish Championship for the first time in the 2017/18 season, after first winning the first leg and later the decisive DM-finals against Odense Håndbold.^[4] The year before, the team had also played in their first domestic championship final, surprisingly beating FC Midtjylland Håndbold.^[5]

In May 2025, just before the third place playoff match, the club announced that they had to significantly reduce the player budget going forward.^[6]
