During the most successful seasons, they played in the Damehåndboldligaen, the top Danish league.

The team was founded through the merger of the clubs Frederikshavn fI and LSU Sæby in 2001. It used the license of the league club Frederikshavn fI, and thus overtook their place in the league. The team was owned by Fox Team Nord ApS.<ref name="TV2 NORD – forlis">[http://tv2nord.dk/default.asp?PageID=5&NewsCategoryID=2&NewsID=220441 Frederikshavn Fox Team Nord tæt på forlis] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090226225816/http://www.tv2nord.dk/default.asp?PageID=5|date=26. februar 2009}} ''TV2/NORD, 4. maj 2009''</ref>

The club alternated between playing in the top league and the second tier, the Danish 1st Division. Following bankruptcy, however, the team was relegated to the fourth tier of Danish handball, the 3rd division.<ref name="konkurs">{{Cite web |url=http://haandbold.com/nyhed/generelle/farvel-fox-konkurs |title=Fox er gået konkurs |access-date=2 February 2024 |archive-date=13 December 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241213184029/http://haandbold.com/nyhed/generelle/farvel-fox-konkurs |url-status=dead }}</ref>
