The club is a merger established in Southwestern Sønderjylland in 2005 between Løgum IF Fodbold, Bredebro IF, Ballum IF and Tønder SF Fodbold.

The senior side is based in Tønder and Løgumkloster, and play the vast majority of their home games at Tønder Stadion and Løgumkloster Stadion which can hold a total of 1,200 spectators. Upon the establishment of the club in 2005, the first team competed in Serie 2, the seventh tier division of Danish football, from which it promoted during the first year of existence. After four seasons in Serie 1, Sydvest 05 reached promotion to Jyllandsserien and after two seasons another promotion was achieved to the Denmark Series, the fourth division. In 2012, the club earned promotion to the Danish 2nd Division, the third tier division, in which it has competed since. The Southwest Jutland collaboration is a member of the local football union, DBU Jutland (JBU) through which it has membership of the Danish Football Union (DBU). The teams of the local clubs involved in the merger continue to be organised by these, and compete in the lower divisions of Danish football.
