Also during that season Itxako reached the finals of the EHF Cup but lost the title to Russian club HC Dinamo Volgograd. 2009 brought the first title of the club when Itxako secured the first place at the Spanish league.[4] The success was doubled when they won the EHF Cup against German club HC Leipzig.[5][6]
