Sporting Clube da Horta is a professional handball team based in Horta, Azores, Portugal. It plays in the Liga Portuguesa de Andebol.

Sporting Clube da Horta was founded on May 28th, 1923, being the 80th Branch of Sporting Clube de Portugal.

SC da Horta, based on the island of Horta in the Azores, started out as a football club, having even won the first district championship played in the Azores, in the 1930/31 season. In 2009/10, it played in the AF da Horta District Championship, but previously participated in the Azores Series of the 3rd National Division.

However, it is in handball that SC da Horta has distinguished itself most. In particular, in 2006 it managed to reach the final of the Challenge Cup (the second most important European handball competition), which it played against the Romanian team Steaua Bucharest. After winning the first game in Faial by 26-21 on 22 April 2006, SC da Horta lost by 34-27 in Bucharest.^[1]
