This work deals with the analysis of the age structure of handball teams, which ranked in the first three places at the Olympic Games, the World Championship and the European Championship in the years 1970 - 2016. The percentage of players' birth data was 100 % in the Olympic Games, 92.6 % in the World Championship and 99.4 % in the European Championship. Altogether there were 1,866 athletes. Of these, there were 532 handball players participating in the Olympic Games in 1972 - 2016, 792 handball players participating in the World Championship in 1970 - 2015 and 542 handball players participating in the European Championship in 1994 - 2016. The findings showed that the average age of individuals at the Olympic Games (27.72), the World Championship (27.77) and European Championship (28.18) almost coincided. The average age of all three tournaments were 27.88 ± 4.01 years.
