Nykøbing Falster Håndboldklub (Nykøbing Falster Handball Club) is a Danish professional handball club from Nykøbing Falster. In the 2024–25 season, the club competes in the Danish Women's Handball League. They have a local rivalry with København Håndbold.

History

Nykøbing Falster was promoted to the top league in Denmark, Damehåndboldligaen, for the first time for 2012-13, by winning the 1st Division in 2011-12.[1]

In their first season in the top league, they finished 11th, which meant relegation/promotion play-off matches against SK Århus. They would go on to lose, but due to Vejen EH's bankruptcy, the club could stay in the league.[2] In 2014-15 they finished last, but once again they were saved by a team withdrawing; this time by Skive fH.[3]

In March 2015 it was announced that the club had signed Kristina Kristiansen from the 2016-17 season.[4] This signaled that the team would ramp up investment, and it sparked public interest in the, at the time, relatively obscure team. The following season they had the highest viewership numbers in the Danish handball league, men's or women's.[5]

In 2017 they won the Danish Championship for the first time in club history.[6]
