# Danish Handball Cup 2019 (women's handball)

The 2019 Danish Handball Cup (Danish: DHF's Landspokalturnering 2019), known as Santander Cup 2019 for sponsorship reasons, was the 56th edition of the national women's handball cup tournament. Nykøbing Falster Håndboldklub were 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.
