History
Larvik HK was founded in 1990 as a merger of the handball departments in the two clubs Larvik Turn and Halsen.[1] They played in the top division since 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 in 1994,[2] and played the Norwegian Cup final.
From the late 1990s, Larvik was the strongest team on the Norwegian women's handball scene over a period of about twenty years, winning the league 19 times and the cup 17 times between 1994 and 2017.[1] Last time they lost a league match at home was on 14 March 1999 before their first defeat in 18 years came against Vipers Kristiansand on 29 March 2017. On 14 May 2011, the club won the Women's EHF Champions League title for the first time.[1]
On 14 May 2019, exactly 8 years after winning the Champions League, the club was degraded to Division 1, after losing their elite license due to financial reasons.[3] In 2020 the club again qualified for REMA 1000-ligaen, the Top Division.[4]
