History
EHF Finals - the start of something new
In the season 2020/21 the EHF European League replaced the former EHF Cup as the EHF´s second tier club competition. A new format as well as a new corporate identity were part of the renewal. Therefore, the EHF Finals Women were played for the first time over the course of one weekend.
The first ever EHF Finals Women was played at the Sala Polivalenta Lascar Pana in Baia Mare, Romania. The team of Nantes Atlantique Handball won the EHF Finals Women 2021 and is therefore the first-ever winner of the EHF European League Women. The year after, SG BBM Bietigheim succeeded in Vibocold Arena Viborg, Denmark, to win their first-ever international title. The 2023 edition of the EHF Finals Women has been hosted by the city of Graz, Austria. In the Raiffeisen Sportpark Graz, Ikast Handbold fought their way to the title of the EHF Finals Women 2023.
