The women's soccer section was established in 1966 as one of the earliest women's soccer teams in Sweden and adopted the name "Öxabäck/Marks IF" in 1991 to show up more of its connections with Mark Municipality before adopding the previous name some years later.[1]

The women's soccer team won the Swedish national championship in 1972 (unofficial), 1973, 1975, 1978, 1983, 1987 and 1988.[2] and the Swedish Cup in 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989 and 1991.[3] The club was relegated from Damallsvenskan during the 1998 season.
