The Hvidovre Badmintonklub was founded as Holmegårdens Badminton Club on
22 April 1948. It was then part of Holmegårdens Gymnastikforening and used the gymnastics hall at Holmegårdskolen in the northern part of Hvidovre. The number of members grew steadily and the club changed its name to Hvidovre Badmintonklub (Hvidovre BK) on 4 March 1960. The club won the
Danish Badminton League for the first time in 1980. ==Notable players==
