History
In 2021, Aarhus Håndbold merged with Skanderborg Håndbold's men's team, and the club changed its name to Skanderborg Aarhus Håndbold.[1] After the merger, the club inherited the league licence of Skanderborg Håndbold, while the first governing board consisted of four members from each former club.[1] At the time, both Skanderborg Håndbold and Aarhus Håndbold were at the brink of bankruptcy due to lost income following the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] The fusion was criticized from both fan bases, as Skanderborg fans disliked the composition of the new club board and Aarhus fans disliked the fact that the club played all their matches in Skanderborg.[2]
Their first season was the 2021–22 Håndboldligaen. In their first season they reached the Championship play-off.[3] In June 2023, the sports association Aarhus Gymnastikforening bought 50 percent of the club, prompting the name change to Skanderborg AGF Håndbold.[4]
In the 2025-26 season, the club reached the Danish Championship semifinals for the first time in club history.[2] They would go on to beat GOG Håndbold to reach their first ever final.[5] They would however lose both finals to Aalborg Håndbold.[6]
