The club's greatest success has been winning the southern division of the tier five Bayernliga in 2024.

Formed in 1963, SV Erlbach played, for the most part of its history as a lower amateur side.

Erlbach played the next five seasons at this level, with two sixth places as its best results but was relegated again in 2011.

In 2014–15 the club finished runners-up in the league and, after defeating SpVgg Landshut and FV Illertiseen II in the play-offs, was promoted to the southern division of the Bayernliga for the first time.

SVE had to enter the relegation round after its inaugural Bayernliga season and, after two defeats against TSV Landsberg, was initially relegated back to the Landesliga but awarded another chance to stay in the Bayernliga through a play-off against VfL Frohnlach.
