Location of Aarhus Håndbold

Aarhus Håndbold Women is a women's handball club based in Aarhus, Denmark. As of the 2024–25 season, the team competes in the Damehåndboldligaen. The club also includes a men's team, competing the Danish 1st Division.

In June 2024, it was announced that Aarhus United and Aarhus HC had decided to merge under the new club name Aarhus Håndbold. When the club was founded, Skanderborg AGF Håndbold decided to sue them, as they used the same club name as one of the founders of Skanderborg AGF, Aarhus Håndbold.

In April 2025, in their first season, the club was relegated from the top level of Damehåndboldligaen to the 1st Division, placing 14th in the final standings.
