The Swedish Handball Cup (Swedish: Svenska cupen i handboll) is the nationwide cup tournament for handball teams in Sweden. It's also known as ATG Svenska cupen for sponsorship reasons. The competition was at first held 1967 to1971, 1979–1990 and then brought back in 2021.[1][2]

The modern version of the cup starts pre qualification leading to a group phase, followed by a knockout stage where the teams face each other home and away in the last 16 and quarterfinals.[3] From the 2023/24 season the semifinals, bronzematch and final is played as a Final four event.[4]
