'''TMS Ringsted''' is a handball club from Ringsted, Denmark. Currently, TMS Ringsted competes in the men's Danish Handball League, whereas the women's team competes in the 1st Division. The home arena of the club is Ringsted-Hallen.
==History== The club was founded on 15 December 1997, when '''Vetterslev-Høm G.F''' and '''Ringsted IF''' merged their first teams to create the new club.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://tms-ringsted.dk/kim-tjaereby-er-gaaet-bort/|publisher=TMS Ringsted|title=Kim Tjæreby er gået bort|date=9 November 2018|access-date=7 June 2025|language=da}}</ref> TMS is an abbreviation for '''Team Midtsjælland''' (Team central Zealand), the area in which Ringsted is located. The club has been nicknamed the "Ring Stingers" by fans. The club gained their first promotion to the Danish Handball League in 2003.<ref name=Berlingske>{{cite news|url=https://www.berlingske.dk/sport/tms-ringsted-fri-af-konkurs?gaa_at=eafs&gaa_n=ASWzDAgt-xWgE0bfpS5lsEy3B1zvahozNWdaJ1jRBM1sZa7BbrKwT6ogRyh1EezQwtE%3D&gaa_ts=684431f1&gaa_sig=i5igFkTNXXpxlfoPRABxyvyzhYvE8kQfvJKS79sQsW-ugIynLEkEZ8gFp7ghkydg_GMZnGnuqrwcGMHpOprC5A%3D%3D|publisher=Berlingske Tidende|date=21 September 2003|language=da|title=TMS Ringsted fri af konkurs|access-date=7 June 2025}}</ref> In their first season the team was close to going bankrupt, but narrowly avoided doing so.<ref name=Berlingske />
In the 2020-21 TMS Ringsted finished last in the table, and should thus by league rules have been relegated. However, in April 2021, after the conclusion of the regular season, Aarhus Håndbold, was declared bankrupt.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://jyllands-posten.dk/jpaarhus/ECE12878753/aarhus-haandbold-gaar-konkurs-men-genopstaar-i-fusion-med-skanderborg/|publisher=Jyllands-posten|title=Århus Håndbold går konkurs, men genopstår i fusion med Skanderborg|date=5 April 2021|accessdate=15 February 2025|language=da}}</ref> Their team was pulled out of the league, and their matches were considered not contested.
Nordsjælland Håndbold won the First Division, the second tier, and was thus promoted to the Håndboldligaen. Skive fH won the First Division play-off round and thus had to meet the worst placed team in the Håndboldligaen relegation round. This would be Aarhus Håndbold, as they had not competed, and thus had not gained any points at all. However, TMS Ringsted decided to appeal the relegation, and it was found that due to Aarhus Håndbold's bankruptcy, they had the right to remain in the league. This was decided after Skive fH had already secured promotion, as Aarhus Håndbold could not compete. This meant that only one team was relegated, but two were promoted. Therefore, it was decided that for the following season the league would have 15, not 14 teams.<ref>{{cite news|title=APPELINSTANS GIVER TMS RINGSTED MEDHOLD I ANKE|url=https://dhf.dk/nyheder-og-presse/nyheder/appelinstans-giver-tms-ringsted-medhold-i-anke/|publisher=DHF|access-date=15 June 2021|archive-date=16 June 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210616043343/https://dhf.dk/nyheder-og-presse/nyheder/appelinstans-giver-tms-ringsted-medhold-i-anke/|url-status=dead|language=da}}</ref>
The next season, 2021-22 the club was however relegated, with 19 points, the same amount as KIF Kolding and TTH Holstebro, but they had a worse head-to-head record of the three.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.flashscore.com/handball/denmark/herre-handbold-ligaen-2021-2022/standings/#/lSsLrQnq/table/overall|publisher=flashscore|title=Herre Handbold Ligaen 2021/2022}}</ref> The season after they were promoted again to the top league.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.sn.dk/art570559/ringsted-kommune/sport/ringsted-traener-det-er-kommet-totalt-bag-paa-mig/|publisher=Sjællandske Nyheder|title=Ringsted-træner: Det er kommet totalt bag på mig|author=Kasper Nørgaard Hansen|access-date=14 March 2025|language=da}}</ref>
