The most successful season during this period was 1983/1984 when they reached Allsvenskan, which at that time was a playoff series for Division I.[1] Falu IF's junior team has played in J18 Region and J20 Region during most seasons in the 2010s.[2][3] The club also has a women's team that competes in the Nationella Damhockeyligan, where they have been very successful.[4] The association's home arena is Lugnets Ishall, located at Lugnet in Falun.

After the completion of the 2022/2023 season, Falu IF was offered a spot in Hockeyettan, following the bankruptcy of HC Vita Hästen.[5] Falu IF was offered the spot as the highest-ranked second-place team in the qualifying series.[6] This means that in the 2023/2024 season, they will be playing in Hockeyettan Västra.
