The DAM was originally a regional league, with teams from Copenhagen and the surrounding area competing. In 1971, the league was expanded to include teams from other parts of Denmark.
The Superliga was created in 1991 as a national league. The league was initially made up of 10 teams, but this was increased to 12 teams in 1996.
