History
The club was founded on 18 May 1913 by boys from the Møhlenpris neighbourhood in Bergen.[2]
Football
In the interwar period, the club's football team achieved good results and challenged Brann as the leading team from Bergen.[3] The football team participated in the inaugural season of national league football in Norway; the 1937–38 Norgesserien. This season, Djerv won their group and reached the championship semi-finals where they were lost 2–3 at home against Lyn and were eliminated.[2] They advanced from the quarter-finals through coin toss after a 6–6 draw against Viking. Djerv played in the top tier for four seasons; 1937–38, 1938–39, 1939–40 (abandoned due to the German occupation) and 1947–48. In 2009, Djerv's football team relegated from 3. divisjon,[4] the fourth tier in the Norwegian football league system, and has played in either the fifth or sixth tier since then.
