The Denmark men's national handball team (Danish: Danmarks håndboldlandshold) is controlled by the Danish Handball Association and represents Denmark in international matches. They are the team with the fourth most medals won in European Championship history on the men's side behind Sweden, France and Spain, with a total of seven medals. Two of these are gold medals (2008, 2012), one silver (2014) and four bronze medals (2002, 2004, 2006 & 2022).
As of August 2024 they are the Olympic Champions, triple defending World Champions and runners-up from the 2024 European Championship making them the current top ranking men's handball team. Defending their 2019 World Championship title at the 2021 World Championship in Egypt, they became only the fourth country to successfully defend a World Championship title. (The other three being Sweden, Romania and France).
By winning the World Championship in 2023, they became the first team on the men's side, to win three World Championship titles in a row, winning in 2019, 2021 & 2023.[1][2]
They are also the only team to have won nineteen national matches in a row without losing at a World Championship tournament from 2019 to 2021, surpassing the eighteen match winning streak by France. In January 2023, they became the first team ever, to not lose at 28 games in a row at the World Championships spanning from 2019–present, beating the previous record by France who had a 25 winning streak set between 2015 and 2019.[3]
As of January 2023, they are the fourth most successful team in World Championship history behind France, Sweden and Romania, having won seven medals. Three of these are gold (2019, 2021, 2023), three silver (1967, 2011, 2013) and one bronze (2007).
