# Norway men's national junior handball team

The Norway national junior handball team is the national under-20 handball team of Norway. Controlled by the Norwegian Handball Federation, it represents Norway in international matches.

## History

The slower development of men's handball in Norway is reflected in the fact that the Scandinavian nation have rarely managed to break into the top 10 positions at the IHF Men's Junior World Championship. The clear best result was fourth place in 1995. Aside from that ranking, Norway have only placed in the top 10 Four other times – the last being in 2019.
