MKS Zagłębie Lubin is a men's handball club from Lubin, Poland, that plays in the Superliga.
History The club was founded in 1967 under the name Górnik Lubin. Their first coach was Szymon Kanigowski. The team reached the Polish top division for the first time at the end of the 1990/1991 season, already under the name Zagłębie Lubin. Two years later, the team won the Polish Cup in the 1992/1993 season, defeating SPR Chrobry Głogów and Wybrzeże Gdańsk in the final four and drawing with KS Warszawianka. In the 1993/1994 season, the team debuted on the international cup circuit, when they were eliminated in the first round against Extran Beyne of Belgium in the EHF Cup Winners' Cup.
In the 2004/2005 season, the team won the league title for the first time in its history, beating Wisła Płock in the final match (27-23; 37-32; 43-42). The team finished the following season in third place. In the 2006/2007 season, the team reached the semi-finals of the EHF Challenge Cup, where it was eliminated by the Romanian UCM Resita. In the 2007/2008 season, they reached the final of the league again, but this time Wisła Płock proved to be better in the duel. The team was in the Polish Cup finals in 2009 and 2010, but lost both times to Vive Kielce. In the years that followed, the team ended most seasons in the middle of the league.
