About Larvik Turn

Larvik Turn is one of the oldest sports clubs in Norway and has an important place in Norwegian football history. The club was founded in 1865 as a general sports association, and its football section was established in 1906 in the town of Larvik. It is a multi-sport club, but football has historically been its most prominent activity. Larvik Turn plays its home matches at Lovisenlund and is known for its traditional role in developing local sports culture in the region.

The club’s greatest football success came during the 1950s, when it was among the top teams in Norway. During that period, Larvik Turn won the Norwegian top division three times and reached the Norwegian Cup final in 1956, where they narrowly lost. The team was strong enough to compete with the best clubs in the country and produced several players who also represented Norway at international level. This era is still considered the golden age of the club.

After the 1960s, Larvik Turn gradually moved away from the top level of Norwegian football and has since played mostly in the lower divisions. Despite this, the club remains active and important locally, continuing to develop players and maintain its sporting traditions. Its long history and role in Norwegian football make it one of the country’s classic and respected clubs, even if it no longer competes at the highest national level.
