The team first won promotion to Toppserien in
2011 after earning promotion from the
First Division. This made Vålerenga the third Norwegian club with both a men's team and a women's team in the top-tier league, and the first club to have its own women's team win promotion to Toppserien, as the two other clubs,
Stabæk Fotball and
Lillestrøm SK, inherited another club's women's team.[1]
In 2020, the club made record by winning the
Toppserien and the
NM Kvinner, their first major titles after finishing runners-up at the previous editions.[2][3]
