History
Previously, the women's team was part of TTH Holstebro. TTH decided to split up the men's and women's section in each club, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] HH90 took over the women's section and became Holstebro Håndbold, while the men's team stayed in TTH Holstebro.[1] The team overtook TTH's license and thus started in the top flight. The new club name Holstebro Håndbold, was announced on 14 April 2020.[2] It was originally planned that the team should play their home matches at Idrætscenter Vest, but last minute the team decided to use Gråkjær Arena instead, as it had better facilities for spectators and sponsors.[3]
In the 2021-22 season they were relegated to the 1st Division after finishing last in the regular season.[4] In 2025-26 the team was promoted to the top division again.[5]
In May 2026 the club decided to change their name to Nordvestjysk Elite to better represent the entire region.[6]
