History

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 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.
