The station was opened on 1 July 1924 as part of the tramway, Bærum Line.[1]
Along with most of the line, Ringstabekk was closed for upgrades since 1 July 2006 and its service temporarily provided by tram line 13, as an extension of the service from Jar to Bekkestua.[2] Ringstabekk was never reopened; instead it was torn down in early 2009, and replaced with the New Ringstabekk Station.
