History

The league was founded in 1942, although clubs did not take part in European competition until 1992. From 1942 to 1975 it was called Meistaradeildin (Champions' Division). Four clubs participated in the first season: KÍ Klaksvík (est. 1904), TB Tvøroyri (est. 1892), B36 Tórshavn (est. 1936) and HB Tórshavn (est. 1904). The first champions were KÍ Klaksvík. A Second Division was founded in 1943, but there was no relegation or promotion system at that time. The league was suspended in 1944 due to the British occupation of the Faroe Islands. The league resumed a year later and KÍ Klaksvík won the league. Other teams to join in the 1940s were MB Miðvágur, SÍ Sørvágur and VB Vágur. All 3 clubs came and went; SÍ Sørvágur finished runners-up in 1945 and won the league title in 1947; this turned out to be the only time in SÍ Sørvágur's history when they played in the top division. In 1952 VB Vágur joined the league again, but they only played two seasons and finished bottom of the table both times. They rejoined again in 1956 and did better than previously. By 1970, KÍ Klaksvík were the most successful club in the Faroe Islands, with 14 titles. The number of teams rose to six in 1971, when ÍF Fuglafjørður entered the league, and 7 in 1976 when NSÍ Runavík joined.
