2015 World Men's Handball Championship – European qualification

The European qualification for the 2015 World Men's Handball Championship , in Qatar, was disputed in two rounds among the teams that did not qualify for the 2014 European Men's Handball Championship and the 12 teams that placed outside of the European Championship's top three (excluding Spain, which were qualified automatically for the World Championship as holders).

In the first round of qualification, 20 teams not participating at the European Championship were split into five groups; the group winners advanced to the second round, joining the 12 European finalists and Germany, which was given a bye to this round. These 18 teams then were paired to play a two-legged playoff tie to determine the nine remaining World Championship qualifiers from Europe. ^{[1] [2]}

Group stage

The draw was held on 27 June 2013. ^[3] The group winners advanced to the playoff round.
