NM Cup
The NM Cup is Norway's national handball knockout cup open to clubs across all divisions, from ambitious newcomers to the top-tier Eliteserien. Played in a single-elimination format, every match is a do-or-die affair, with extra time and penalties used to decide ties when needed. The competition runs alongside the regular season, with early rounds staged in autumn and the final rounds in spring, often at a neutral venue. The NM Cup is known for its drama, upsets, and the chance for any club to dream big. Key facts include an open national competition uniting teams from multiple divisions; the draw creates exciting, sometimes surprising fixtures; and the format rewards consistency and courage in one-off matches. The tournament has a long history in Norwegian handball and provides a platform for young talents to shine and for seasoned players to win a prestigious trophy outside league play. Fans follow the NM Cup for knockout excitement, potential Cinderella runs, late goals, and memorable clashes that shape the season.
