The club reached its peak in the late 2010s, winning its first Lithuanian championship in 2017 and successfully defending the title in 2018 and 2019. Sūduva also won several domestic cups and super cups, establishing itself as one of the strongest Lithuanian teams of the modern era. It has also participated regularly in European competitions, further strengthening its reputation in Baltic football.
