The **Intercontinental Handball Cup** was a competition between the continental [handball](/source/Handball) champions in the years which were not a [World Men's Handball Championship](/source/World_Men's_Handball_Championship) and the host country.

## History

The idea of a Intercontinental Cup was first introduced in the 1980s but was delayed because of financial and temporal problems. In 1996 the [IHF Congress](/source/IHF_Congress) created the [IHF Men's Super Globe](/source/IHF_Men's_Super_Globe) and the Intercontinental Handball Cup which takes place for the first time in 1998. After the third edition in 2002, the tournament was cancelled because of a fully packed calendar.[1]

In 2024 the IHF announced they will bring back the tournament for 2025[2], but no competition has been organised that year.
