After the breakup of SFR Yugoslavia, RK Rudar was renamed into RK Pljevlja and during the decade played in the Second League - 'West'. Because in Pljevlja didn't exist a big sports hall, club played their home games in Podgorica, Nikšić, Berane, Tivat, Priboj or Užice.

Following the Montenegrin independence, Pljevlja played one season in the Montenegrin First League. After the relegation and one season spent in Second Handball League, the club was back in the First League, under the old name - RK Rudar.
