History

The precursor to Odense Håndbold, GOG Håndbold's women's team, won four Danish championships in the 1990s.

Odense Håndbold was created in August 2009 as a break-away club from GOG Svendborg TGI and they overtook GOG's license for the league, which was published in a press meeting August 27, 2009 in Odense Idrætshal. They therefore started their first season in the top flight of Danish handball. As GOG was heading towards bankruptcy, they had to obtain special permission from the Danish Handball Federation to separate the women's team from GOG.

They changed their name to Odense Håndbold (Odense Handball) before the beginning of the 2016/17 season. In the 2020-21 season the club won their first Danish championship, beating Viborg HK in the final. In the 2024-25 season they managed to achieve a perfect regular season, winning 26 of 26 games. Later they won the Danish Championship, beating Team Esbjerg 2-1 in the final.

In the 2024–25 Women's EHF Champions League they qualified for the final four for the first time in club history, when they beat Hungarian Ferencvaros. When Team Esbjerg qualified the day after, it became the first time that there were two Danish teams in the Champions League final four. They lost the final to Hungarian Győri ETO KC 30-27.
