The 1971 World Women's Handball Championship took place in the Netherlands between 11-19 December 1971. After the 1968 edition was cancelled because of the intervention of Czechoslovakia from the Soviet Union, the 1971 edition would see East Germany take the title as they defeated Yugoslavia 11-8 in the final.[1] [2]
