Founded in 1920, Domžale spent 28 seasons in the Slovenian PrvaLiga, the top tier of Slovenian football, until the club was dissolved in early 2026 due to financial problems. They played their home matches at the Domžale Sports Park.

Domžale's golden era was in the 2000s, when the club was promoted back to the top flight and subsequently won two consecutive top division titles under manager Slaviša Stojanović, in 2007 and 2008. In addition, they also won two Slovenian Cups (2011 and 2017) and two Slovenian Supercups (2007 and 2011).
