RK Mornar was founded 26 May 1980 in Dramalj on the initiative of Stjepan Lončarić. [3]

RK Crikvenica (1956–2017)

RK Crikvenica was founded in October 1956 in Crikvenica. The club was founded on the initiative of gymnasium gymnastics teacher Branko Banjanin. During the Yugoslav Handball Championship Crikvenica competed in lower tier leagues. From 1985 the club didn't have a regulated sports facility so they played their home matches in Delnice, Senj and Rijeka until February 2003 when the city finally built them their ground GSD Crikvenica. The first match played in GSD Crikvenica was RK Crikvenica against RK Umag on 15 February 2003. [4]

In 1999 Crikvenica reached the semi-final of the Croatian Handball Cup where they lost to Medveščak Zagreb (29:22). In 2001 due to reorganization of the Croatian handball league RK Crikvenica entered the First league and maintained 7 seasons in the first tier. [5]
