Superliga past champions

Yugoslav regional championship

Until 1991, Kosovo was part of Yugoslavia. The Handball Federation of Kosovo does not consider the title before this date because some teams played (Borac,Trepça, Bozhuri, Prishtina, Vëllaznimi, Samadrexha, Kosova) in first or second Yugoslav League and hence did not play Kosovo first league.[1]

Kosovar national championship

According to Handball Federation of Kosovo, the first Kosovar national championship was played in 1991/92.[1]
