The club started out as a hobby club and, due to the lack of women's teams in Austria, played mainly friendly matches or small tournaments against women's teams from neighboring countries for several years. In the 1998/99 season , an Austrian women's league was played for the first time, which the Gipsy Girls were able to win confidently: all six games were won without receiving a single goal. The title was impressively defended in the 1999/2000 season , the team won all games again and received only three goals against. Since then, the Villach women have always failed in the semi-finals or earlier.
