Amsterdamsche Hockey & Bandy Club (founded 28 January 1892) is the oldest professional field hockey club of the Netherlands, based in Amstelveen. AH&BC is also the largest field hockey club in the city.
The team is a powerhouse of both domestic and international hockey. Both its men's and women's teams are annual contenders for the Dutch national titles. The men's team won its maiden European Cup in 2005.
Originally, the club also played bandy, as is still reflected in the club's name.
History
The club was founded in 1892 and is seen as the oldest hockey club of the Netherlands and the European mainland.{{cite web |title=Algemeen |url=https://www.ahbc.nl/site/Default.asp?option=2502&stcname=declub_algemeen&menu=1 |language=nl |website=ahbc.nl |access-date=12 July 2018}} In the early years, bandy was the most important sport. When there was no ice in the summer they would play field hockey. Because of the 1928 Summer Olympics, when the Netherlands national hockey team won the silver medal at the field hockey tournament, the regard towards hockey changed. From that moment onwards, field hockey became the most important sport for the club.{{cite web |title=Archief Amsterdamsche Hockey- en Bandyclub |url=https://www.amsterdam.nl/stadsarchief/nieuws/hockeygeschiedenis/ |website=amsterdam.nl |publisher=Stadsarchief Amsterdam |access-date=12 July 2018 |language=nl |date=18 January 2018}}
