The football departments greatest success came in 2012, when it won the Bayernliga for the first time and earned promotion to the Regionalliga Bayern.

The history of TSV goes back to before 1860 when young men trained in gymnastics in the courtyard of Weinwirt Fortner, then a popular wine bar in Rosenheim.

On 20 October 1860 the local gymnasts organized themselves as Freiwillige Turnerfeuerwehr Rosenheim, a sports association and volunteer fire brigade.

The new homeground was inaugurated in a match versus the club's name sake, TSV 1860 München, which ended in a surprising 4–3 victory for the locals in front of 3,000 spectators.

Rosenheim was regarded as part of the Alpenfestung (Alpine Fortress) by the Allies and was also located on a major rail and road intersection.

The American occupation forces in Bavaria dissolved all sports clubs after the end of the war in 1945 and Rosenheim was no exception.

With the liberalization of laws by the occupying forces, the ASV was permitted to return to its original name and the TSV 1860 Rosenheim was reborn in 1950.

The club formed a basketball department in 1960 and constructed a designated sports field for its players in the same year.

As of 2007, the club leads the all-time table for the Landesliga Süd by an incredible 400 points, ahead of second placed FC Gundelfingen.

The club renovated its stadium and reopened it on 8 September 1969 with a game against FC Bayern Munich who just won its second German championship this year.

In 2008–09, the club returned to more successful ways, earning promotion back to the Bayernliga after winning another Landesliga title.

Bastian Schweinsteiger is currently the most well known player from the club, playing for the English side Manchester United and as the German national team's captain.

A first-round defeat by FC Augsburg II was followed by victory over Viktoria Aschaffenburg and promotion back to the Regionalliga.

Both clubs lingered in mid table of the Landesliga all season, with no real promotion or relegation issues to worry about.

Three German titles and three more lost final series are the SB's (which now stands for Star Bulls) record on national level.

the SB Rosenheim currently competes in the Oberliga Süd (III), having avoided relegation in the 2007–08 season and being a far cry from its former glory.
