The club was founded in 1999 and have won eight Slovenian championships and nine Slovenian Cup titles.

History[]

Pomurje have won their first national cup in 2005 and the national league in 2006.[3] The next season, the club have won its second cup and was the league's runner-up. In 2008 and 2009, Pomurje was second to ŽNK Krka both in the league and the cup, but declined in the next two seasons (third in 2010 and fifth in 2011).[4]

However, in 2012, Pomurje won both the league title and the cup, attaining their first "double". The club became a dominating force between 2012 and 2016, winning four doubles and five straight championships. In the 2018–19 season, Pomurje won a seventh championship title without dropping any points, winning all 21 games of the season.[5]

In the 2014–15 UEFA Women's Champions League season, Pomurje advanced to the round of 32 for the first time by finishing as the best runner-up in the qualifying tournament.[6]
