The women's team at MKS AZS UMCS Lublin has come closest to a national trophy in the Polish Cup, reaching the quarter-finals in the 2018/2019 season before losing to EKS Start Elbląg. Founded within KU AZS UMCS Lublin, the university sports association that grew out of Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in 1944, the handball section has a history within the university sports framework. Both the men's and women's sides now play in the I Liga, the second level of Polish handball, and share the university's green and white colours.

The club is easy to confuse with a different Lublin institution, MKS Lublin, the Ekstraklasa side that has won the EHF Cup and the EHF Challenge Cup — those honours belong to a separate club, not to the university team. AZS UMCS Lublin's identity sits instead within the wider AZS network: its games against AZS AWF Warszawa carry the weight of the "Academic Derby," a fixture rooted in the rivalry between Poland's university sports clubs rather than in league standing.

Both handball teams play their home matches at the Globus Arena, a hall named after Tomasza Wójtowicza that holds 1,800 spectators. The men's team is coached by Łukasz Achruk, while the women's side has been led by Patryk Maliszewski and Barbara Radlińska. The club also fields its teams in the Academic Championships of Poland.
