Summary of SC Cambuur seasons

1960s Founded in June 1964 after taking over vv Leeuwarden’s professional license, SC Cambuur began in the Tweede Divisie. In the 1964–65 season they won the Tweede Divisie title and earned promotion to the Eerste Divisie. They spent the remainder of the decade establishing themselves in the Eerste Divisie, without notable cup achievements in available records.

1970s SC Cambuur remained in the Eerste Divisie throughout the 1970s. They began to challenge for promotion by finishing high enough to qualify for promotion play‑offs, but did not secure elevation to the Eredivisie during this decade.

1980s Continued as consistent Eerste Divisie competitors. They reached the promotion play‑offs a few times (e.g. 1980, 1983, 1987) but failed to clinch promotion in those seasons. There was no Eredivisie membership yet.

1990s 1991–92: SC Cambuur won the Eerste Divisie title, earning promotion to the Eredivisie for the first time in club history. 1992–93: Debut Eredivisie season; in 1993–94 they were relegated back to the Eerste Divisie. 1997–98: Returned to the Eredivisie, but were relegated again after the 1999–2000 season.

2000s The early 2000s were turbulent. SC Cambuur often narrowly missed promotion—most famously in 2009, losing in play‑offs on penalties, and finishing second in 2010 but still missing out. The club narrowly avoided bankruptcy in 2005 and began restructuring from 2006 onward. They remained in the Eerste Divisie the entire decade.

2010s 2012–13: Won the Eerste Divisie title and secured promotion to the Eredivisie. 2013–14 to 2015–16: Spent three seasons in the top flight, relegated after the 2015–16 season Returned to the Eerste Divisie, with no further Eredivisie membership in the remainder of the decade.

2020s 2020–21: Declared champions of the Eerste Divisie and promoted to the Eredivisie. 2021–22: Achieved 9th place, the best ever Eredivisie finish in the club’s history. 2022–23: Relegated after two seasons back in the Eredivisie (finished 17th and dropped down). 2024–25: In the Eerste Divisie, finished 3rd and reached promotion play‑offs, but were eliminated in the first round by FC Den Bosch.
