GC Amicitia Zurich with its predecessor clubs

The handball section of GC was founded in 1931 by Karl Schmid four years (1927) after the first set of rules had been drawn up.

Between 1964 and 1977, the Norwegian world-class handball player Arild Gulden , who also took part in the football section, shaped the events; with him the GCZ won many championship titles, both in football and handball.

After the city of Zurich was relegated to the NLB in the 1980s despite the commitment of the coach Vlado Stenzel , who had previously become Olympic champion with Yugoslavia and world champion with Germany, they won their 21st handball championship in 1991 after being promoted again. In the 2005/06 season they became vice-Swiss champions for the fifth time in a row behind the Kadetten Schaffhausen .

She plays in the National League A , since the 2007/08 season in an alliance with the Kadetten Schaffhausen . The vacant place in the Swiss Handball League was taken by the second team in the GC handball department instead of the first.

On August 23, 2010, the handball department merged with the Zurich handball club Amicitia Zurich and now forms the largest handball club in Switzerland under the name GC Amicitia Zurich .
