Kvik was founded in 1900. For its first fifteen years of existence, Kvik dominated regional football. In
1915, the team reached the semifinal in the
Norwegian Football Cup, where it lost 0–3 to
Kvik Halden. FK Kvik considers the 1920s to be its golden age. During the 1920s, Kvik played three cup quarter finals, in
1922,
1923, and
1925. After this season, the league system was changed, and the number of teams at the highest level of Norwegian football decreased from 74 to 16. In this new league system, Kvik played two seasons in the
Main League,
1951–52 and
1954–55. After the 1955–56 season, Kvik found itself playing at the second highest level of Norwegian football. At this time, it competed with several other teams, including
Rosenborg BK, over the status of the best football team in Trondheim. In 1968, Kvik was relegated to the third highest level. Kvik had a
women's football team from 1979 to 1998. After the match, Rosenborg player
Per Ciljan Skjelbred commented that Kvik "kept at it like heroes". ==References==
