History edit
NK Krk was founded in 1940 at the Krk hotel and played local teams for the first time in 1941. The club's original kit colour was navy blue. The club played its first match after the second world war in 1946. The football club was part of a larger sports club, SD Partizan, from 1947, but only played local teams until the 1970s since Krk was not connected to the mainland by road until 1980.[1]
The club was promoted to the Croatian Second League in 2023, the best performance in the club's history to date. The club played several matches in nearby Rijeka's Kantrida stadion while their ground was undergoing reconstruction, but returned to Krk in 2024.[2][3]
Krk defeated HNK Cibalia 1:0 in the 2018–19 Croatian Football Cup to reach the round of 16, where the club was defeated by Osijek.[4] NK Krk qualified for the cup by winning the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County cup the season prior.
