History

The handboll section of Hammarby IF was founded on 31 October 1939. During the 1950s, the handboll section ceased its activities. The club made a comeback in the 1970s when another local team, Lundens BK, merged with the club.^[1]

Hammarby were promoted to Elitserien, Sweden's top tier, for the first time in 2002.^[2] In 2003, Hammarby signed the Swedish international Staffan Olsson, who returned to his native country after a long career in Germany. In 2004–05 Hammarby reached the semifinals, eliminating IF Guif in the quarterfinals^[3] before losing to IFK Skövde in the semifinals.^[4] The following season, Hammarby won their first Swedish championship, defeating IK Sävehof by 34–31 in the final.^[5] Olsson retired from playing in 2006, instead taking over as manager of Hammarby (a position that he stayed in until 2011). In 2006–07, Hammarby defended the title, winning the final against IFK Skövde by 34–22.^[6] They won their third consecutive title in 2008, again defeating IK Sävehof in the final, this time by 35–29.^[7] In 2008–09, Hammarby reached the semifinals, but were eliminated by Alingsås HK.^[8] Since 2009, Hammarby have finished between 6th and 13th in the league and have not reached past the quarterfinals in the play-offs.
