number of memberships were grown to approximately 2,100, with 1,000 members attached to the gymnastics department. The football department introduced the youth tournament, Copenhagen Tivoli Cup, in 1991. In the spring of 2000, the club house at Hillerød Stadium burnt down and a new club house was not built until some years later, featuring several more changing rooms and a weight training center. In the 1970s, Hillerød G&IF surpassed the local rivals, Frederiksborg IF as the leading club in Hillerød. While Frederiksborg IF was regarded as the city's old renowned upper class sports club, both the sports management and the active athletes at Ullerød GF/Hillerød G&IF viewed themselves as being a working class club — which in practice was embodied by the local politicians and business community being more responsive and supportive towards Frederiksborg IF. Hillerød G&IF's senior men's team won their regional Series 1 league group in the 1976-season, including winning the Zealand Series 1 League Championship the same year, securing a promotion to the Zealand Series in the upcoming 1977-season for the first time in the club's history under the guidance of playing head coach Finn Wiberg.
