Oppsal Håndball is the women's handball team of the Norwegian multi-sports club Oppsal IF based in Oslo, Norway.
In the 1970's the men's team won the Norwegian Championship five times, but now they play in the lower leagues, while the women's team is the flagship. After 10 consecutive seasons on the highest level in Norway, the team faced relegation after the 2021–22 season.[1] The following season the team ended 3rd in 1. divisjon, which gave access to play-off matches against the 12th ranked team in REMA 1000-ligaen. This was possible due to restructuring of the series system. Oppsal won the best of three series against Volda Handball, and gained promotion to REMA 1000-ligaen.[2]
