Recent history

On 23 September 2021, Haukar became the first Icelandic women's basketball team to win in a continental competition when it defeated Clube União Sportiva, 81–76, in the first leg of the 2021–22 EuroCup Women qualifiers. In the game, Jana Falsdóttir became the youngest Icelandic female player to play and score in a continental competition, breaking the records of Unnur Tara Jónsdóttir and Ragna Margrét Brynjarsdóttir.^[1] On 30 September, Haukar lost the second leg 79–81, after starting the game 2–21, but advanced to the regular season with a combined 160–157 victory.^[2]

In January 2023, Haukar won their third straight Icelandic Cup, after defeating Keflavík in the Cup final.^[3]

On 20 September 2023, Haukar defeated Valur, 78–77, in the Icelandic Super Cup with Keira Robinson scoring the game winning basket at the buzzer.^[4]

Home court

Haukar play their home games in Ólafssalur (English: Ólaf's hall) in Ásvellir. The court is named after Ólafur Rafnsson, a former Haukar player and president of FIBA Europe.^[5]
