The Denmark women's national handball team is the national team of Denmark. It is governed by the Dansk Håndbold Forbund and takes part in international handball competitions.

As of december 2011, they are currently only one of two Women's Handball team to have held all three major titles simultaneously (The World Championship, The Olympic Championship and The Euro Championship) They did so in 1996/1997. (Norway's Women's Handball team equaled the record in 2011 being quadruple defending European Champions in 2004, 2006, 2008 and 2010, defending Olympics 2008 Champion, as well as 2011 World Champion) [1]. Up until 2010, no men's team had ever done this feat before, but when France national handball team won the 2010 European Championship, they equaled the all-time record.

Denmark women's national handball team is also the only team in handball history, both on the women's and men's side, to have won the Olympic Games in Handball three times in a row. They won The Olympic Games in Atlanta 1996, in Sydney 2000, and finally in Athens 2004.
