The Ármann women's basketball team, commonly known as Ármann, is the women's basketball team of Glímufélagið Ármann multi-sport club, based in Reykjavík, Iceland. As of the 2017-2018 season it plays in 1. deild kvenna.[1]

History

Ármann won the ignaural national championship in 1953[2] and added two more in 1959 and 1960.[3] In 2009, the players, unhappy with poor training facilities and lack of practice time from the club, contacted Ungmennafélagið Stjarnan and inquired if the board would be interested in starting a women's team. The Stjarnan board responded positively, as they had been unsuccessfully trying to start a women's team for a few years, and in the end all 14 Ármann players transferred over to form the first Stjarnan women's team.[4] Ármann did not field a team again until the 2017–2018 season.[5]
