The two clubs merged to form ÍB Akureyri from 1928 to 1974. Before the 2006–2007 Icelandic handball season, they merged their handball clubs to form Akureyri Handboltafélag. In 2017, KA left the partnership and reinstated the KA handball section .

Women's Football
Since 1999, KA has fielded a joint women's team with neighbouring club Þór Akureyri under the name Þór/KA in the top level league Úrvalsdeild. In 2006 the team finished 7th of 8 teams, 8th/9 in 2007, the reaching a good 4th/10 in 2008 and then bettering those results with 3rd/10 in 2009 and a second-place finish in 2010. As Iceland was in the top 8 leagues of UEFA,[3] those second place was enough to qualify for the 2011–12 UEFA Women's Champions League.[4] The team entered in the round of 32 but lost 14–2 on aggregate to German team Turbine Potsdam.
In 2010 the team also went to the semi-finals in the Icelandic cup, losing to the eventual winner Valur.[5] In 1989 and 2013 they lost the cup final.
In 2012 Þór/KA finished first in the Úrvalsdeild and secured its first ever Icelandic championship.[6]
On September 29, 2017, the club secured its second national championship by defeating FH, in the last game of the season, 2-0 with goals from Sandra Jessen and Sandra Stephany Mayor.[7]
