ÖSK Handboll have won the national championship, both seniors and juniors, three times. But that was in the late 40s and the early 50s and ÖSK also have a bunch of second places. ÖSK even played the European champianchip finals in Paris in 1957 against Dukla Prag. Sadly they lost 21 to 13. In 1968 the club decided to recede and other clubs in Örebro took over. In the 80s the youth club, ÖSK Ungdom, took up handball and that led to the rebearth of ÖSK Handboll in 1990. Women had by tradition played handball in another Örebro club, IFK Örebro (KVIK Centra). But with the help of ÖSK Ungdom, ÖSK Handball got there first womens team in the 2003/2004 season.
