History

SC Heerenveen was a founding member of the Vrouwen Eredivisie in 2007 and one of three clubs, along with FC Twente and ADO Den Haag, to field a team in the Eredivisie or BeNe League in every season. The club won the first-ever Eredivisie match, spoiling FC Twente's debut at the Arke Stadion, 3–2.^[2]

After finishing last in 2008 and 2010 and second-to-last in 2009, in 2011 the earned its best result yet, finishing 4th and reaching the KNVB Women's Cup final, losing to AZ Alkmaar.^[3] In April 2011, the club announced the women's team would disband at the end of the season,^[4] but it subsequently cancelled the decision.^[5] The following season, sc Heerenveen returned to the bottom of the table.

In the 2012–13 season, sc Heerenveen moved in the newly formed BeNe League. It was the second-to-last Dutch team in the league, an overall 11th position, though forward Vivianne Miedema led the league with 27 goals. Miedema and her club improved the following season, with the forward scored 41 goals, the most in a season for the short-lived league. The club finished in fourth place overall and third among Dutch clubs. The BeNe League lasted just one more season, in which the club finished in 10th place.

SC Heerenveen and other Dutch clubs returned to the Eredivisie for the 2015–16 season. In 2017 and 2018, the club again reached the semifinals of the KNVB Women's Cup, losing to PSV in 2017 and AFC Ajax in 2018.^[6]^[7] On 26 April 2019, sc Heerenveen announced it would cease competing in the league.^[8] However, on 19 June, the club reversed course and announced it would continue its women's team.
