Club career She has played for ÍBV since 2007 with her first league match coming in 2008.

Kristianstads DFF, the Swedish club where Margrét Lára was playing, gave a trial to Elísa before the start of their 2013 Damallsvenskan season. During Elísa's visit she played in a pre-season friendly but Kristianstads had no immediate plans to sign her to a contract. She eventually transferred to Kristianstads in January 2014, by which time Margrét Lára had gone on maternity leave.

In November 2015, she returned to play in the Úrvalsdeild when she signed a contract with Valur.
