=== Domination, The Nils Arne Eggen Era (1988–2002) ===

The year 1985 may have been a turning point in Rosenborg's fortunes, but it was in 1988 that things really started to happen. The club received fresh capital from its new main sponsor and was fully professionalized. Nils Arne Eggen returned to Trondheim to once again become head coach, this after leading [[Moss F.K.|Moss]] to the league title in 1987. In the waning years of the 1980s, the club secured Doubles twice (1988 and 1990).

Rosenborg went on to dominate Norwegian club football throughout the 1990s. In strong contrast to the [[Norwegian national football team|Norwegian national team]]'s defensive and often criticized (yet highly effective) style of play at the time, Rosenborg achieved success through strict adherence to crowd-pleasing, attacking football. The [[Norwegian Premier League]], established in 1991, was won 13 consecutive seasons from 1992. The Norwegian Cup was won five times.

In 1995, Rosenborg qualified for the [[UEFA Champions League]] for the first time, a feat which helped secure the club's finances and further cement its dominance at the domestic level. The income provided through successive qualifications has allowed Rosenborg to become by far the wealthiest club in Norway. Always able to offer the most promising new players better terms than their opponents, as well as the prospect of playing in Europe, Rosenborg were assured of future league championships and European qualifications. During this period, few clubs were ever able to mount a serious challenge for more than a season at a time.
