The Ladies Team gained promotion to the Women's Premier Division (Naisten SM-sarja) in 1986 where they remained until the 2000 season when they withdrew. The 1990s were a great period for the team, the highlight being in 1993 when KontU won the Naisten SM-sarja championship. They were unsuccessful in the Premier Division/Division One 2001 promotion/relegation group and the Premier Division/Division One 2003 promotion/relegation playoff . However luck was on the club’ side and they inherited the place of HJK-J Helsinki in the Premier Division for the 2004 season. The team gained only 1 point in 18 games and were relegated again.[5]
The Ladies Team bounced back a few years later winning promotion to the Premier Division (now known as the Kansallainen Liiga) at the end of the 2007 season. In 2008 they finished in a meritable 5th position in the Naisten Liiga but sadly withdrew for the 2009 season.[6] The team now play at 3 levels lower in the Kolmonen (Third Division).
