# Danish Handball Cup 2018 (women's handball)

The 2018 Danish Handball Cup (Danish: DHF's Landspokalturnering 2018), known as Santander Cup 2018 for sponsorship reasons, is the 55th edition of the national women's handball cup tournament. Team Esbjerg are the defending champions.

## Format

The initial 6 rounds are managed by the regional federations with the DHF taking over the tournament at the round of 16. It ultimately results in a final four event between Christmas and New Year. The winner of the tournament qualify for the Super Cup where they meet the season's league winner. If the same team wins both the league and the cup, the losing cup finalist will be participating in the Super Cup.
