FK Tønsberg má za sebou bohatou historii, včetně několika úspěchů v norském poháru. V roce 1930 se klub probojoval do finále turnaje, kde však prohrál 4:0 s klubem Ørn-Horten. V roce 1953 dokázal Tønsberg pohárovou trofej získat, když ve finále porazil klub SK Brann 1:0.
Klub také pravidelně hrával v nejvyšší norské lize, Tippeligaen. Naposledy v ní působil v roce 1978, ale od té doby se pohybuje v nižších soutěžích. V posledních letech se FK Tønsberg snaží o návrat do vyšších pater norského fotbalu a v současnosti usiluje o postup do druhé ligy Adeccoligaen.
Klub je známý svou silnou mládežnickou akademií, která vychovala řadu talentovaných hráčů, kteří pokračovali v úspěšné kariéře v norských i zahraničních klubech. FK Tønsberg je navíc aktivně zapojen do místní komunity a pořádá různé akce a programy pro děti a mládež.
