African Handball Champions League is an annual international club handball competition run by the African Handball Confederation. The top club sides from Africa's handball leagues are invited to participate in the tournament, which serves as a qualifying tournament for the IHF Super Globe.

Since 2013, Algeria has decided not to participate in any continental competition due to the participation of clubs from Western Sahara under the flag of Morocco as Algeria recognizes Western Sahara as a state.
