Karlskrona Handboll was a Swedish handball club based in Karlskrona, founded in 1920.[1] They were the first Swedish champions in 1932.[2] They were founding members of Allsvenskan in 1934–35.[3] They reached the Swedish championship final again in 1936, but lost to Hellas.[2] They were relegated from Allsvenskan in 1939 and have not returned since.[3] Until the 1950s, almost all players of the club were members of the Swedish Navy (Flottan).[1] In 2022 Karlskrona Handboll and HIF Karlskrona became one club, now under the name HF Karlskrona.[4]
