They are the most successful national korfball team in the world; having won ten of the eleven World Championships (only non-win came in 1991 when they lost in the final against Belgium), all eight editions of the European Championships and all eleven editions of the World Games.
The last time the Netherlands lost a match, was in January 2004, in a friendly match against Belgium.
