The club was founded in Vopnafjörður on December 1, 1929, as Íþróttafélagið Einherjar. The first chairman was Ingólfur Erlendsson. The name of the club was changed to Ungmennafélagið Einherjar in 1943 and later to Ungmennafélagið Einherji. In 1974 the club played in the Icelandic 3rd division (2. deild karla) for the first time. The team got promoted to the 2nd division (1. deild karla) for the first time in 1981. In the eighties the team played six seasons in the 2nd division reaching the club's record high; 5th place in 1986.
In 2013, the club was promoted from the newly formed 4th division (4. deild karla) to the 3rd, by winning the division after a 2–0 victory in the final against Berserkir. This was Einherji's first title in the clubs' history.[1]
Crest and colours
The club crest was designed in 1975 but until that time the club had no crest. The dragon in the crest is a reference to Snorri Sturluson's Heimskringla.
