      • The handball tournaments at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France were held from 25 July to 11 August 2024. Preliminary pool matches occurred at South Paris Arena 6, with the final phase staged at Pierre Mauroy Stadium in Lille. The format remained the same since 2000 for the men and 2008 for the women, as twelve teams in two groups battle each other in the round robin, followed by the knockout matches for the top eight starting with the quarterfinals and ending with the final and bronze match.
      Denmark won the men's tournament in a clean sweep with Germany on second place. Host France became 8th. Norway won by the women defeating France in the final.
      The final set a spectators record for a women's handball match with 26,664 spectators.
      Most valuable players were Katrine Lunde (NOR) for the women and Mathias Gidsel (DEN) for the men. The latter broke countryman Mikkel Hansen's record for most goals in a tournament with 62. Hansen on the other hand improved his own record for most goals in olympic handball to 183. He, Danish goalkeeper Niklas Landin Jacobsen and french Nikola Karabatić all played their last tournament. Put together they have won IHF World Player of the Year 8 times.
