The Norwegian Men's Handball Cup (Norwegian: NM (Norgesmesterskapet)), is the main domestic cup tournament for Norwegian men's handball clubs, which is organised and supervised by the Norwegian Handball Federation.[1] The competition has been played annually since 1946. Fredensborg BK is the most successful team with 15 titles.[2] Between 1939 and 1974 there was also an outdoor competition besides indoor.[3] [4]
Since the 2022/23 edition the semifinals and finals are being played in a Final 8 format, where men's final 4 teams play during the same weekend in the same arena.[5]
