The club is a current member of the Israeli Premier League, and plays at the Ironi Stadium.

It commemorates the casualties of the Tel Hai battle that happened north of Kiryat Shmona on March 1, 1920.

The merger was initiated by businessman Izzy Sheratzky owner of Ituran Location and Control, who are the official sponsors of the team.

In their first season at the second level they narrowly missed out on promotion, only finishing below runners-up Hapoel Nazareth Illit on goal difference.

In their first season in Europe, home matches had to be played at the Kiryat Eliezer Stadium in Haifa.

In addition, Ironi Kiryat Shmona became the first team to win both first and second Toto Cup trophy in a back-to-back year.

Their championship was the first to be won by a team outside the three major cities (Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa) for almost 30 years.
