The club has two sections for handball, the elite section named Tertnes Håndball Elite and a grassroots section.

The women's handball team quickly became the flagship of Tertnes, when they in 1992 managed to qualify for the Norwegian top division, Eliteserien. The team has played in the highest league since its promotion in 1992, and has won silver four times (1998/99, 2003/04, 2005/06 and 2008/09) and appeared in the cup final 3 times, placing second all times (2001/02, 2013 and 2016).

Former players include Cecilie Leganger, Kjersti Grini, Mette Davidsen, Mia Hundvin, Stine Skogrand, Terese Pedersen, Linn Gossé and Sakura Hauge.
