Larvik Turn & Idrettsforening is a Norwegian sports club that has sections for football, handball, athletics, wrestling, and gymnastics. The club was founded in 1865, and has offered football since 1906.[citation needed]

The football team was at its best during the 1950s, when it won the Norwegian Premier League three times; in 1953, 1955, and 1956. The club's only cup final appearance came in 1956, but this match was lost 2–1 to Skeid.[citation needed] Former Norwegian internationals Gunnar Thoresen, Hallvar Thoresen, Tom Sundby and Gunnar Halle have all played for Larvik Turn & I.F.[citation needed]

The most prominent representative of the athletics section is Lars Martin Kaupang, who had the Norwegian record in 1500 metres with 3:37.4 minutes from 30 June 1976 until 29 April 2012.[citation needed]
