History

The multisports club was founded in 1922, and the handball department was added in 1950.[1] Their home court, Nacka Sporthall, was build in 1963.[2] In 1986 the women's team was promoted to the top league for the first time.[1] In 1988 they reached the Swedish Championship final for the first time, but lost to Tyresö HF.[3] During the 1990s the men's team also had their best period, when they played in the Division 1.[1]

In 2001 they won their first Swedish Championship, beating Stårvägen in the semifinal and IK Sävehof in the final.[4] In 2004 they won their second title, when they beat Team Eslövs IK in extra time.[5] The year after they won the title again, beating Skövde HF in the final 24-23. The final ended in dramatic fashion, when Skövde had a last-second penalty throw, which goalkeeper Patricia Löfberg saved.[6]

Then it would be 9 years before they reached the final again. In 2014 they lost the final to IK Sävehof 20-38. They reached the final again in 2015 and 2019, but lost on both occasions to IK Sävehof.[7] In 2021 they won their 4th title, beating H 65 Höör in the final.[8]
