UMFB's basketball department was founded in 1989.[4] It played in the second-tier 1. deild karla during the 1989–1990 season, finishing 9th.[5] In 1992, it won the 2. deild karla after beating Gnúpverjar in the playoffs.[6] [7] ÍFL had originally defeated UMFB during the group stage of the playoffs and Gnúpverjar in the finals.[8] However, ÍFL had used an illegal player and as an result of an official complaint, UMFB was awarded a 2–0 victory which meant they finished with the best record in their group and faced Gnúpverjar in the finals rematch.[9] [10] It again played in the 1. deild for the 1992–1993 season but finished last and were relegated back to 2. deild.[11]
