History

The association was founded on 2 June 1903 as Dutch Korfball Association (Dutch: Nederlandse Korfbal Bond, or NKB). In 1973 it fused with the Christian Korfball Association (Dutch: Christelijke Korfbalbond, or CKB). Part of the deal was that clubs that were part of the CKB did not have to play on sunday in the new constellation. [2]

The Koninklijk Nederlands Korfbalverbond was one of the founders of the International Korfball Federation, with the Belgian Federation, on 11 June 1933. [3]
