History

In 2000, Aalborg Boldspilklub overtook the licence of the club Aalborg HSH. AaB Håndbold was owned by AaB A/S. AaB Håndbold won the Danish Championship in 2010 with a final victory of 2–1 in matches against KIF Kolding after six free throws in the free throw competition in match 3.

In January 2011, the license was given to a new company called "Aalborg Håndbold A/S" and the team changed name to Aalborg Håndbold. Behind the new company are the businessman Eigild B. Christensen and director Jan Larsen, who both are from Aalborg. Aalborg Håndbold won the Danish Championship in 2013, with an overall 11-goal victory over KIF Kolding Copenhagen.

In 2014, Aalborg finished in second place and qualified for the Champions League 1/16 final, where they were defeated by FC Barcelona. Aalborg's success continued in 2015, with another Champions League 1/16 final. Again the opponent was FC Barcelona and again Aalborg was knocked out.

In 2017, Aalborg won the Danish Championship for the third time and from 2019 to 2021, they won the Danish Championship three times in a row. In 2021, Aalborg reached the final of the EHF Champions League, becoming the only Danish and Nordic men's team to have done so. In the finals, Aalborg once again lost to FC Barcelona.
