The club was founded on 26 September 2007 as a merger of Øvrevoll BK and Hosle IL. Hosle IL was founded in 1947 as Grav og Voll IL. The name was changed to IL Bæring and later Hosle when Bæring merged with Hosletoppen. Øvrevoll BK was founded on 26 April 1955 as Øvrevollkameratene. The football and bandy teams of the two clubs had cooperated long before the actual merger.[1]
