History
The Icelandic women's tournament began in 1972. Eight teams competed in two groups and the top team from each group,
FH and
Ármann. met in a final where FH won 2–0. In 1976, only five team registered for competition so the group arrangement was abandoned and instead the teams played in one division with home and away games. The following years, fewer and fewer teams participated, due to lack of training, lack of access to
Grass fields, and little or none youth programs. After only three teams participating in 1980, the tide turned the following season with five new teams registering for competition and the addition of the
Icelandic Women's Football Cup
