The Yugoslavia national handball team was the national handball team of Yugoslavia. It was organized by the Handball Federation of Yugoslavia.
Yugoslav handball began to rise in the early 1970s. Today, three former Yugoslav republics have won medals at major competitions: Croatia fourteen, Serbia four and Slovenia two. In the period from 2003 to 2020, Croatia was at the very top of world handball. Other former Yugoslav republics also cherish the continuity of placement in major competitions.
