The elite team are part of the association 'HØJ Håndbold', which was founded on 7 January 1995 by a merger of Ølstykke Handball Association and Jyllinge-Gundsømagle Idrætsforening's Handball Department. In the spring of 2014, the elite department was established as 'HØJ Elite'.[3]
The team was promoted to the second tier of Danish handball, the 1st Division in the 2022-23 season.[2]
On March 1, 2025 the club secured promotion to the top league for the first time in club history, 4 rounds before the end of the season.[4] The very same season the club's men's team were also promoted.[5]
After their promotion the club signed a contract to rent the yet-to-be-built Multiarenaen in Ølstykke, as their old court Ølstykke-Hallen did not live up to the requirements in the Danish top flight.[1][6]
