History

edit

Randers HK was founded in 1996 as a collaborative effort between several smaller clubs from the Randers Municipality to create a handball team that could represent the region at the top level.

In 2000, they reached the final of the Women's EHF Challenge Cup.

The season 2009/2010 was the greatest from the history of the club, Randers HK finishing runner-up in the domestic championship GuldBageren Ligaen and winning the Women's EHF Cup. In 2011/2012, they finally won the Danish Championship. In 2016, they lifted the Danish Cup trophy.

In November 2022, the club decided to declare itself bankrupt after failing to raise over DKK 5 million. The club was then withdrawn from the league with immediate effect.[1] However, the club managed to restart in the 2nd division. For the 2024/25 season, the club played in the 1st Division.
