Djurgårdens IF was one of the teams playing at the Nordic Games in 1905, where the team lost the final to Uppsala HK.[1] The club has been in the Swedish championship finals seven times before 1930, and won two of them, in 1908 and 1912.[2]
After the 2006–07 season, Djurgården advanced to Allsvenskan, the second highest league in Swedish bandy, but has since been relegated to Division 1 again. At the end of the 2013–14 season, Djurgården narrowly missed the qualification to Allsvenskan, thus playing in Division 1 in the 2014–15 season. In 2014, Djurgården was close to bankruptcy but merged with Spånga/Bromstens BK.[5] In the 2015–16 season, Djurgården played in Allsvenskan again.[6]
Djurgården played their home games at Spånga IP for a couple of years, but for the 2017–18 season they moved to Östermalms IP, closer to the club's traditional home areas.[7]
