Njarðvík (men's basketball)

Keflavík The rivalry between the two teams from the neighbouring towns of Keflavík and Njarðvík began in earnest when Keflavík ÍF won its first national championship in 1989. From 1991 to 2010, the teams faced three times in the Úrvalsdeild finals and four times in the Icelandic Cup final. ==Colours==

The original uniform colours of the club were blue and white. In late 1973 the basketball department was in need of new uniforms and due to lack of funds they decided to select a colour that no other team was using, so they wouldn't have to buy two sets of uniforms. There were three colours to choose from but as the three selectors were all Boston Celtics fans they decided to choose green uniforms. The green colour has been in use since then, except for the 1989-90 season when they played in the orange colour of its biggest sponsor, Hagkaup. ==Arena==

After moving to Njarðvík, the team played its home games at Íþróttahús Njarðvíkur, commonly nicknamed Ljónagryfjan (English: ''The Lion's Den) In July 2019, Njarðvík signed a 2-year sponsorship deal with Njarðtak, naming the arena the Njarðtaks-gryfjan (English: The Njarðtak's Den''). In 2024, the team into a new arena, named Stapaskóli. ==European record==
