History

The club was established in 1955 under the name Ivo Marinković and played its first friendly match in December against Grafičar Bjelovar. First official game was played in April 1956 against Slavija Čakovec. In 1956 team was renamed to RK Partizan. In seasons 1960/1961 and 1962/1963 Partizan became amateur champion of SR Croatia. In 1964 club changed the name to RK Podravka since it was sponsored by the factory who had the same name. The club also qualified in the first league the same year. In 1966 RK Podravka won its first national title and kept it for two years in a row. In 1972 the team was degraded in the second league but they managed to return in the first league in 1975. However, they returned in the second league in 1976 and remained there until 1980 and then again fell in the second league in 1982. In 1990 they again entered the first league and remained there until its dissolution in 1991 when Croatia gained independence. Since 1993 they were not Croatian champions only in the seasons 2003/2004, 2013/2014 and 2021/2022, however their biggest success was in 1996 when the team won Women's EHF Champions League.
