The club was established in 1970, making Hammarby IF one the pioneers in Swedish women's football. The side has gone through several reconstructions through the years. The original women's team was first founded as a section under multi-sports club Hammarby IF. In 1999, the association was reorganized and all the underlying sections got separated into an umbrella organization, with Hammarby IF DFF being founded. Before the start of the 2017 season, the side merged  with Hammarby IF Fotboll, which previously only included the men's division. Hammarby won the top tier Damallsvenskan in 1985. In 1994, it was also the championship's runner-up. The club also won two national cups in 1994 and 1995. Previously, the team had been the cup's runner-up in its first three editions (1981–83). The team declined from 2005 and in 2011 it was relegated to First Division for the first time. Before its relegation it was one of only two teams (the other one being FC Rosengård) to have played all 24 editions of the Damallsvenskan  to date since the competition's foundation in 1988. In modern years, Hammarby has been a typical yo-yo club. They finished the 2014 Elitettan season in 2nd place & gained promotion back to the Damallsvenskan. However, they enjoyed a short stint in the top tier getting relegated in 2015. In 2016, the club once again gained a promotion from the second tier.
