To [[Altador Cup IV]] Krawk Island went, and they were sure ready to finally win a cup as the sole remaining out of the "Original Four" ([[Haunted Woods]], [[Darigan Citadel]], and Roo Island being the others)to not have won yet. Like the previous year, no roster changes appeared in 2009 so it was now or never, cause "Dasher" Soley seem ready to retire soon. As well like the previous, they blazed through to the Finals, with major accomplishments to major disappointments (ie: A sweep from Kreludor) but still earning them a 2nd seed spot through the finals. After quite a major victory from "[[Yooyuball]]" powerhouse, [[Lost Desert]], they only needed to beat [[Shenkuu]] to finally win. The match between Shenkuu and Krawk Island was a sure classic as this two teams had battled it out many times before, with the two major matches before giving way to a win for both teams, so now this was a deciding factor, who would rein supreme. Finally, Krawk Island had done it, with a intense battle between the pirates and ninjas, Krawk Island finally won the match and with it the Altador Cup earning them their first cup.

Finally, Krawk Island had done it, with a intense battle between the pirates and ninjas, Krawk Island finally won the match and with it the Altador Cup earning them their first cup.
In [[Altador Cup V]] talk of the "winner's curse" was very common. While some said that Krawk Island won't fall as hard as the others, while others said they'd fall worse. About a month before sign ups, rumors surfaced that [["Dasher" Soley]] had finally retired. And when the rumors were proven true, with Hale becoming team captain, even the Krawk Island supporters were worried. However, when Soley's replacement, [[Feldon "Dinksy" Collibridge]], injured her right leg, Krawk Island had to call Soley out of his retirement for on last season. As all of [[Neopia]] held their breath to see how Dasher's Squad would do, Krawk Island got off to a pedestrian start. Trading wins with losses, they entered the finals in 6th place, though after loosing to [[Virtupets]] they finished the season in 7th.
With "Dasher" Soley retiring after his replacement was okay, [[Feldon "Dinksy" Collibridge]] replaced him. She helped the team get back to its glory and get back to the top tier. They defeated predicted-to-win [[Kreludor]] and fought with [[Virtupets]] for their second chance to get the Cup but slightly fell apart and ended up 2nd. They are the only team that got into the Top 4 5 times.
[[Altador Cup VII]] and its infamous new format came as a threat to the team's stability, as it did with most teams. However, the team still did relatively well, claiming wins where wins were due. However, they had little to stand up to the top 4 of the year, with [[Mystery Island]] and [[Meridell]] nearly sweeping them, and [[Kreludor]] and [[Darigan Citadel]] successfully sweeping them on their first encounters. Without that added power that Krawk Island is famous for, they faltered and met with 7th place, same as [[Altador Cup V]] and thus their worst position to date.
in 2014 the Team replaced their star player [[Ealyn Hawkshanks]] for the Kreludian defender [[Coco Metrone]]. She was placed Centre Defender in Team Krawk Island. Thus the Krawks changed they're default Yooyuball formation from 2+2 to a 1+3 formation. The addition to the defence wasn't much of an upgrade for Krawk Island in [[Altador Cup IX]]. They couldn't keep up with the top eventhough they had some sweeps. And so Krawk Island sadly ended up a shocking 8th in the rankings. Their worst position ever.
Their dry spell wasn't alleviated by [[Altador Cup X]], but they were far from falling like some other old powerhouses had. Though the team had performed just as well as one might expect a consistent powerhouse to perform, there was a lot more competition to face, especially in the case of [[Kiko Lake]] and [[Tyrannia]]. Though Krawk Island's team hadn't lost their touch, the existence of lots of strong competitors simply left the pirates unmatched. Still, despite struggling to handle these strong teams, Team Krawk Island improved slightly to 7th place.
[[Altador Cup XI]] continued the drought for another year as old competitors continued to perform extremely well, while new competitors such as [[Mystery Island]], [[Faerieland]], and [[Brightvale]] began to challenge the status quo. Though they performed admirably yet again, Team Krawk Island was unable to handle the new fifth round rules well and fell to fifth place in that bracket, ultimately placing them in 7th again. Though in most respects a generally good finish, it still seems bad for a team that has always placed in the top half.
