History
The Ljubljana Silverhawks were established in April 2002, becoming the first American football team based in Slovenia. Initially, the Silverhawks were not affiliated with any league.

In 2006, the Silverhawks were one of the founding members of the Central European Football League (CEFL). In 2009, together with three other teams, the Silverhawks competed in the first-ever edition of the Slovenian Football League. On 26 June 2010, the Silverhawks defeated the Alp Devils 41–0 and thus became the first champions of Slovenia.

The Silverhawks retained the Slovenian Football League title in 2011, after defeating the Croatian team Zagreb Thunder, which competed as the guest team. The Silverhawks won the CEFL title in 2012, and then also won the Slovenian League title in 2012 and 2013, respectively.

In 2016, the Silverhawks joined the Austrian Football League (AFL) and reached the wild card playoffs three times in a row. After the 2018 season, the Silverhawks left the AFL due to financial problems.
