The Denmark women's national handball team is the national team of Denmark. It is governed by the Danish Handball Federation (DHF).
In 1997, it became the first Women's Handball team to hold all three major titles simultaneously (The World Championship, The Olympic Championship and The European Championship).
Denmark women's handball team is the only team (women's and men's) in handball history to win the Olympic Games three consecutive times, earning the gold medal in 1996, 2000, and 2004.
Despite tremendous results, the Danish handball team has seen a steady decline. As of 2024, the team has not won a gold medal since the Olympic Games 2004. However, at the World Championship 2013, the team won its first medal (bronze) at a World Championship since 1997 when the team won gold. It was also the first medal the Danish team had won in 9 years.
Since 2021, the team has won medals at five championships in a row: Bronze at the 2021 World Championship, silver at the 2022 European Championship, bronze at the 2023 World Championship, bronze at 2024 Summer Olympics and silver at the 2024 European Championship. At the 2025 World Championship, Denmark was knocked out in the quarter final, marking the first time since 2021 that Denmark left a major international tournament without any medals.
