History

The ETO was founded in 1904, but the women's handball section wasn't created until 1948. In 1957 they won the Hungarian Championship for the first time. However, their most successful period started in 2005 when Győri ETO won the Hungarian Championship and the Hungarian Cup, and reached the final of the EHF Cup. In 2006 they participated again in a European final, for the Cup Winners' Cup. In 2007 and 2008 they reached the semifinals of the Champions League.

In 2009 Győri ETO reached the final of the Champions League, meeting Danish champion Viborg HK. Due to a knee injury suffered days before the first leg, captain Anita Görbicz couldn't take part in the finals.[3] Győr won the first match away 26–24[4] but was defeated at Veszprém Aréna 23–26, thus losing the title on aggregate score.

In 2012 the team made it to the EHF Champions League finals again, where they fell short to ŽRK Budućnost Podgorica on the away goals rule. ETO won the first leg on home soil to 29–27, while their Montenegrin opponent achieved a 27–25 victory in the rematch which was just enough for them to gain the title.[2]

The club has gone through several name changes during its existence, including Győri Vasas, Győri Vasas ETO, Győri Keksz ETO, Győri Graboplast ETO and since 2005 Győri Audi ETO.[1]
