In November 2022, the club decided to declare itself bankrupt after failing to raise over DKK 5 million. The club was then withdrawn from the league, with immediately effect.[1]
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 the 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.
In 2017, the club started 'from scratch', rebuilding the club from the foundations. The club has strengthened its organisation and now appears, on all fronts, equipped to continue the journey towards new goals and sporting success.[2]
