Parnu JK Vaprus

Vaprus was formed in May 1922, as Spordiselts Vaprus (English: Sporting Society 'Bravery'). The club was active in various sports and credited for organising the first intercity running competitions from Pärnu to Tallinn and from Pärnu to Riga. In football, Vaprus competed in the local Pärnu football championships, winning in 1927 and 1934. However, the club failed to reach the heights of their rivals Pärnu Tervis and in 1937, Vaprus merged with several other local sporting clubs to form Pärnu Kalev.

The club was re-established in 1999 as an amateur team playing in the lower leagues. In 2003, several local clubs merged with Vaprus, including former top league club Pärnu Levadia, forming a working football club. Vaprus won the 2005 Esiliiga season and was, for the first time in the club's history, promoted to Estonia's top-flight football league Meistriliiga. The club finished their first Meistriliiga season in 7th place. Vaprus finished the 2008 Meistriliiga season in 10th place, but managed to avoid direct relegation due to disbandment of TVMK. However, the club was still relegated after losing the relegation play-offs against Paide Linnameeskond.

In 2010, Vaprus formed a united team Pärnu Linnameeskond with PJK and Pärnu Kalev. Vaprus itself continued to only operate in youth football until 2014, when they entered their senior team to Estonian lower leagues. Pärnu Linnameeskond reached Estonian top flight in 2015, but broke up after two seasons with Pärnu Vaprus inheriting their league spot for 2017.

After an eight-year absence, Vaprus returned to top-flight football and moved to the newly renovated 1,501-seat Pärnu Rannastaadion. The club finished the season in last place, but managed to avoid relegation due to Sillamäe Kalev's bankruptcy. However, the club again placed last and was relegated in the following 2018 season. Vaprus lifted the second division title in 2020 and returned to Meistriliiga, where they finished bottom of the table in both 2021 and 2022, but avoided relegation on each occasion due to Viljandi Tulevik and TJK Legion withdrawing from the top flight for financial reasons.

Pärnu Vaprus appointed Igor Prins as their manager for the following 2023 season and recorded their most successful season in the club's history, surprisingly occupying 3rd place until matchday 27 and finishing the season in 6th place with 48 points, despite being considered as clear relegation candidates at the start of the year. Vaprus finished the following year in 7th place, before repeating their highest 6th place finish in 2025, accumulating a club record 49 points. During the season, the club's 16-year-old forward Marten-Chris Paalberg was called up to the Estonian national team.
