ŽRK Crvena zvezda is a women's handball club from Belgrade, Serbia. Currently, ŽRK Crvena zvezda competes in the Handball League of Serbia (Arkus Liga) and the qualification for the 2025–26 EHF Women's European League.[1] The women's handball team is part of the sports club of SD Crvena Zvezda (Red Star Belgrade).
History
Red Star’s women’s handball team first succeeded in 1949 with second place in the Serbian Championship and later became runners-up in Yugoslavia. In the early 1950s, they consistently ranked high and in 1957/58 the team merged into another Belgrade club, Sloboda.
They made their European debut in 2011/12 at the Women's EHF Challenge Cup, later reaching the semifinals of the Serbian Cup and competing again in Europe in 2014/15.[2]
That same season, they were relegated and dissolved, leaving Belgrade without a top-league team. The club was reestablished in December 2016 under the name “ŽRK Crvena zvezda” and re-entered competition in 2017/18. In 2023 they promoted to the ARKUS Liga, claming their very first national trophy by claiming the Serbian Cup and the Serbian Championship in 2024 and 2025.
Over time, the club has produced several future world stars and national team players, including Dragana Cvijić, Kristina Liščević, Jelena Trifunović and Sanja Vujović.
In September 2025, they signed 3 times Olympic Champion and Norwegian legend Katrine Lunde.[3]
