Aarhus Håndbold was a handball club from Aarhus, Denmark. The club was founded in 2001 originally under the name Århus GF, as an extension of the traditional Aarhus clubs AGF, Brabrand IF, VRI and Århus KFUM/YMCA / Hasle. AGF chose in 2010 to withdraw from the superstructure, and the club was renamed from AGF Håndbold to Aarhus Håndbold.[1][2] The home arena of Aarhus Håndbold was Ceres Arena.

The club struggled in the last year of its existence with economic problems and in April 2021 the club was declared bankrupt. In connection with this all the players from Aarhus Håndbold were released and Århus Håndbold merged with the neighbors from Skanderborg Håndbold under the name Skanderborg Aarhus Håndbold.[3] In June 2023 AGF re-entered the project and bought 50% of the shares in the club, and the club was renamed Skanderborg AGF Håndbold.[4]
In 2013 they won the Danish Super Cup.[5]
