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 got a second place, and also qualified for the Champions League 1/16 final, where Aalborg was defeated in two matches against 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 a third time and in 2019, 2020 and 2021 they won the Danish Championship 3 times in a row. In 2021 Aalborg also reached the final of the EHF Champions League becoming the only Danish and Nordic men's team to have done so. In the final Aalborg once again lost to FC Barcelona.
