They claimed their first Norwegian championship in 2018, ending an 18 times streak for the champions from Larvik HK.[1] Since then, they've shown strong dominance in Norway and claimed 6 consecutive league titles, 5 playoff titles and 7 cup titles.
For the first time in the club's history, they qualified for the 2018–19 Women's EHF Final 4 in Budapest, where they took the 3rd place and a historic bronze medal.[2] On 30 May 2021, they won the 2020–21 Women's EHF Champions League and the following year they succeeded again, becoming the first Norwegian team to win EHF Champions League two years in a row. In 2023, they claimed another Women's EHF Final 4 title and secured the treble while the EHF FINAL4 Women in Budapest broke the world record for spectator attendance at women’s handball matches.[3]
