History
The club was founded as Gosi on 25 December 1951[4] and was one of the founding members of the Icelandic men's top division.[5] On 22 December 1957 the club changed its name to Körfuknattleiksfélag Reykjavíkur (English: Reykjavík Basketball Club) and played under that name until 1970.[6] On 3 October 1970 the club merged into Valur sports club and became its basketball department.[7][8]
Under the new name it has won the Icelandic Championship two times, 1980 and 1983,[9] and the Icelandic cup three times, 1980, 1981 and 1983.[10]
