History
Ribe Håndboldklub, the progenitor club for REHH, was founded on 1 October 1956, and have played in the top division on several occasions.[3] In the first season in the clubs history, they won their section of the Danish 2. Division and was thus promoted to the 1. division. In the 2011/2012 season the team was promoted to the top division in Denmark, Herrehåndboldligaen.[4]
They reached the semifinals of the Danish Championship for the first time in 2016-17.[5] They did however lose both the semifinals and the bronze match.[6]
Until the 2026-27 season the club played both home matches at Ribe Fritidscenter in Ribe and Blue Water Dokken in Esbjerg, but due to increased requirements for commercial facilities, the club decided only to play home matches in Esbjerg.[7]
