Olis deildin is the top Icelandic handball league. It has a men's division and a women's division. Started in 1939, Olis deildin is the third-oldest national indoor handball championship in the world, after the Danish and Swedish championships which were started in 1935 and 1931 respectively. With 22 titles won so far, Valur is the record champion, while Haukar are holding a world record for enduring the longest time gap between two national titles with 57 years passing between their first win in 1943 and their second (of nine in total so far) in 2000.
FH won the title in 2010/2011 after a win against Akureyri Handboltafélag in front of a record crowd of 2950 people in Kaplakriki.
