A bit of history:
Although the town is in Bavaria, its closeness to other football clubs based in the neighbouring state of Baden-Württemberg make it part of the football competition there. In 1963, they became the first Bavarian side to win the Württembergischen-Pokal (Württemberg Cup) when they beat SV Hussenhofen.
Being a lower-division side for most of the clubs history, it won promotion to the Landesliga Württemberg I (VI) in 1979, remaining in this league till 1987. After a period in the Bezirksliga, the club returned to the Landesliga, and through there, for the first time, in 2003 to the Verbandsliga.
A special rivalry exists with Spvgg Au, which is in the same district as Illertissen. After several years playing against each other in the Verbandsliga Württemberg (V), both teams were promoted to the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg (V) in 2008. Au had some seasons earlier become the first Bavarian side to play in Baden-Württemberg and Illertissen now follows its rival there. The club qualified for the Oberliga through a promotion round, alongside the Kehler FV.
