The Ármann women's basketball team, commonly known as Ármann, is the women's basketball team of Glímufélagið Ármann multi-sport club, based in Reykjavík, Iceland. It has won the national championship three times, in 1953, 1959 and 1960.
Ármann won the ignaural national championship in 1953[1] and added two more in 1959 and 1960.[2] In 2009, the players, unhappy with poor training facilities and lack of practice time from the club, contacted Ungmennafélagið Stjarnan and inquired if the board would be interested in starting a women's team. The Stjarnan board responded positively, as they had been unsuccessfully trying to start a women's team for a few years, and in the end all 14 Ármann players transferred over to form the first Stjarnan women's team.[3] Ármann did not field a team again until the 2017–2018 season[4] when it failed to register a win in 24 games in the 1. deild kvenna.[5] In May 2020, the team returned to the 1. deild kvenna for the first time since 2018.[6] On 15 March 2022, the team won the 1. deild kvenna championship, its first title in 62 years, after winning 18 of 20 games, including 15 in a row to finish the season.[7]
