The team won four Czechoslovak championships between 1926 and 1935. In 1960 Slavia, which had its name changed to Dynamo Prague between 1949 and 1965, won its fifth title and became the first team to represent Czechoslovakia in the newly founded European Cup where it reached the final, losing to Stiinta Bucharest.[1] Three decades later the team won two of the last three editions of the Czechoslovak championship.

Following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia Slavia has competed in the Czech First Division and, from 2002, in the WHIL, a supranational league comprised by the leading Czech and Slovak clubs. The team won seven Czech championships between 1994 and 2010,[2] and it has also won the WHIL in 2010 and 2011.[3] Its major international success in the modern era was reaching the semifinals of the EHF Cup in 2001.[4]
