organisation, between 1918 and 1923.
From the establishment of ''
Vort Arbeide'' in 1884, the party had a growing and notable organisation of newspapers and other press outlets. The party press system eventually resulted in ''
Norsk Arbeiderpresse'' (''Norwegian Labour Press''). In January 1913, the party had 24 newspapers and six more newspapers were founded in 1913. The party also had the periodical ''
Det 20de Aarhundre''. In 1920, the party had 33 newspapers and 6 semi-affiliated newspapers. The party had its own publishing house,
Det norske Arbeiderpartis forlag, succeeded by
Tiden Norsk Forlag. In addition to books and pamphlets, Det norske Arbeiderpartis forlag published ''Maidagen'' (annual

publication), ''Arbeidets Jul'' (annual Christmas publication) and ''Arbeiderkalenderen'' (calendar). The party also published a monthly political magazine, ''
Kontakt'', between 1947 and 1954 which was edited by
Torolf Elster.
From its roots as a radical alternative to the political establishment, the party grew to its current dominance through several eras. The party experienced a split in 1921 caused by a decision made two years earlier to join the Comintern and the
Social Democratic Labour Party of Norway was formed. In 1923, the party left the Comintern while a significant minority of its members left the party to form the
Communist Party of Norway. In 1927, the Social Democrats were reunited with Labour. Some Communists also joined Labour whereas other Communists tried a failed merger endeavor which culminated in the formation of the ''
Arbeiderklassens Samlingsparti''. The same year,
Helga Karlsen became the party's first female Member of Parliament.
In 1928,
Christopher Hornsrud formed Labour's first government, but it lasted only two weeks. During the early 1930s, Labour abandoned its revolutionary profile and set a reformist course. Labour then returned to government in 1935 and remained in power throughout the

Einar Gerhardsen of the Labour Party subsequently formed his first government, and he went on to dominate the post-war political scene over the following years. Gerhardsen is commonly referred to as ''Landsfaderen'' (
Father of the Nation) and is generally considered one of the principal architects behind the reconstruction of Norway after the Second World War. The period from 1945 has been described as the golden age of the Norwegian Labour Party, and the party retained its parliamentary majority until the
1961 election. In 1963, the
Kings Bay Affair drove the opposition to table a

against the Gerhardsen's cabinet; the motion was ultimately successful, and Labour was forced to step down from government for the first time in 28 years. However, the incoming centre-right coalition proved short-lived, and Labour returned to government less than one month later, and remained in office until 1965.
The Labour Party later formed government in the periods of 1971–1972, 1973–1981, 1986–1989, and 1990–1997. Labour prime ministers in this period included party veterans
Oscar Torp,
Trygve Bratteli, and
Gro Harlem Brundtland, and the party remained the largest in Norway throughout the remainder of the 20th century.

of the
Christian Democrats was toppled in a confidence vote, and the Labour Party returned to power under
Jens Stoltenberg, who became prime minister. However, after a period of intense infighting between Stoltenberg and former prime minister
Thorbjørn Jagland, and a turbulent spell in government, the party collapsed to only 24.3% of the vote in the
2001 Norwegian parliamentary election, marking its worst result since 1924. The party returned to the opposition under Stoltenberg's leadership, before later recovering to 32.7% in the
2005 Norwegian parliamentary election. The Labour Party subsequently formed its first ever peace-time coalition government along with the
Socialist Left and
Centre parties. Their cooperation was dubbed the
Red-green coalition, in emulation of similar constellations in Germany.
In 2011, the party changed its official name from the Norwegian Labour Party (''Det norske arbeiderparti'') to the Labour Party (''Arbeiderpartiet''). The party claimed there had been confusion among voters at polling stations because of the difference between the official name and the common use name of Labour Party. The name change caused ''Arbeiderpartiet'' to appear on the ballot, eliminating any potential confusion.
On 22 July 2011, terrorist
Anders Behring Breivik opened fire at the Labour Party's youth camp (ages 13–25), killing 69 people and killing eight more in Oslo with a bomb towards a government building (which was led by the Labour Party). Stoltenberg's initial response to the 22 July attack was well received by the Norwegian public. As he reaffirmed his government's commitment to the values of openness and tolerance in the face of adversity or intolerance his approval rating soared as high as 94%, only to decrease sharply after the
22 July Commission report highlighted the laggard response time of police cost dozens of lives.
In the

Historically, the party has maintained a close association with the
Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions (LO), and until the mid-1990s, a dual-membership agreement existed between the two organizations, with LO members automatically holding (indirect) membership in the Labour Party as well. The party had about 200,500 members at its peak in 1950. No records were kept about direct membership or indirect membership figures. The dual-membership clause was scrapped in 1995, and that year its membership level fell to just over 72,500 from 128,000 in 1990. In 1997, that figure dropped to 64,000 in 1997. In 2021, the party comprised 45,553 members according to its own official website. Since 2005, the party has maintained a policy requiring full gender parity at every level of organisation above ordinary membership.
The supreme body of the party is the Party Congress which is held every two years. The most senior body between these congresses is the National Delegate's Meeting which is made up of the party's Executive Board and two delegates from each of the 19 counties.
[ The Executive Board itself consists of 16 elected members as well as the leadership of the party.][ The party is headed by a single leader, while the number of deputy leaders has fluctuated between one and two in different periods. As of 2022, the party leadership is made up of leader Jonas Gahr Støre, who has held the position since 2014, and deputy leader Bjørnar Selnes Skjæran, who was first elected to the position in 2021.
The party's youth organisation is the Workers' Youth League, and it maintains a women's wing known as the Labour Party Women's Network.] The party participates in elections to the Sami Parliament of Norway, and work related to this has its own organisational structure with seven local groups, a bi-yearly congress, a national council and the Labour group in the Sami parliament.
