The golden years (1974–1990)
As one of the twelve teams contesting the first Lia Naziunela, San Laurënz won the league stage, but failed to win the subsequent Championship Round, introduced for the first time with the Lia Naziunela. As a result, CP Innsbruck won the first iteration of the Lia Naziunela, with SU San Laurënz as runners up. At the end of the season Armon Trebo became the manager of San Laurënz and led the club to the championship in 1975–76, 1976–77, 1980–81 and 1981–82.
