History[]
The club was established in 1967 under the name of ASPTT Metz, but it was not until 1986 the women's team was promoted to the best league in France. Manager of the team at that time was French Olivier Krumbholz, who later became national manager for France. The club was renamed twice as Handball Metz Métropole in 2002 and later as Metz Handball in 2009 (current name).
Since the promotion, Metz HB has had overwhelming success with 23 National Championships from 1989–2019, which is the all-time record in the French Women's First League Championship.
