History

Aalborg HSH

The precursor to Aalborg Håndbold, Aalborg HSH, was founded in 2000 as a fusion of the clubs Vadum and Aalborg KFUM. The ambition was to create a first league team in Northern Jutland. It did however not see much sporting success.

AaB Håndbold

In 2000, Aalborg Boldspilklub, a broader sports association most famous for its soccer team, took over the license of the club Aalborg HSH, establishing AaB Håndbold. AaB Håndbold was owned by AaB A/S. AaB Håndbold won the Danish Championship in 2010 with a final victory of 2–1 in matches against KIF Kolding after six free throws in the free throw competition in match 3. This ushered in a period where big names could be brought to the club, including Danish national team player Joachim Boldsen. In 2011, the team played in the EHF Champions League for the first time.

Aalborg Håndbold

In January 2011, the license was given to a new company called "Aalborg Håndbold A/S," and the team changed name to Aalborg Håndbold. Behind the new company are businessman Eigild B. Christensen and director Jan Larsen, both from Aalborg. Aalborg Håndbold won the Danish Championship in 2013, with an overall 11-goal victory over KIF Kolding Copenhagen. In 2014, Aalborg finished in second place and qualified for the Champions League 1/16 final, where they were defeated by FC Barcelona. In 2017, Aalborg won the Danish Championship for the third time. From 2019 to 2021, they won the Danish Championship three times in a row. In 2021, Aalborg reached the final of the EHF Champions League, becoming the only Danish and Nordic men's team to have done so in the Champions League era, losing to FC Barcelona. In 2023–24, Aalborg won their seventh Danish Championship and reached the EHF Champions League final, again losing to FC Barcelona. In 2024–25, they secured their eighth Danish Championship and third Danish Cup.
