CSM Constanța is a handball team from Constanța, Romania, that competes in the Romanian Liga Națională. Formed in July 2015 as HC Dobrogea Sud Constanța after the extinction of HCM Constanța (due to high debts that the club had accumulated),[1] the team merged in 2022 with the newly formed multi-sports club CSM Constanța, as its men's handball section.[2] After one year in the second division (the 2015-16 season), the team was promoted to the Liga Națională.
