The team has spent most of its history in the lowest league, but were promoted to the second tier for the 1975 season, but were instantly relegated back to the third tier, then the lowest tier. They didn't participate every season until recently, sending a merged team with other clubs fromSnæfellsnes on occasion, and were last part of such a merger in the 2002 season. They sent a team under their name for the 2003 season and were instantly promoted to2. deild karla, where they played in 2004 and were promoted again. They finished the2005 1. deild karla season in a respectable fifth and stayed in that division until2009, when they were relegated.
