Football
Norwegian Cup
Mjøndalen has won the Norwegian Cup three times, 1933, 1934 and 1937.
Norwegian Premier League
After being promoted in 1971, Mjøndalen regularly played on the top-tier of Norwegian football in the 1970s and 1980s, and finished second in 1976 and 1986. The last round of the 1976 season saw Mjøndalen beat giants SK Brann away in front of a crowd of 22,401, a result which would have awarded them the league title if Lillestrøm SK had lost their game - which they did not. The last time Mjøndalen played in the Norwegian Premier League (Tippeligaen) was in 1992. After this, the club has participated on the second, third and fourth tier of Norwegian football.
European competitions
The men's football team have played twice in UEFA Cup, seasons UEFA Cup 1977-78 and UEFA Cup 1987-88, against German teams, and once in UEFA Cup Winners' Cup 1969-70, against Welsh team Cardiff City, losing both legs, 1-7 home, and 1-5 away.
Recent years
In recent times, the men's team won its group of the Norwegian Second Division in 2008, and was promoted to Adeccoligaen.
