A national second tier of Norwegian league football was established in 1963. The league took over for Landsdelsserien, a league consisting of seven regional groups, as the second tier in the Norwegian football league system. The league was named 2. divisjon. After the rebranding of the top tier ahead of the 1990 season, the second tier was rebranded as 1. divisjon in 1991.
