The North America and the Caribbean Handball Confederation (NACHC) is the governing body of the Olympic sport of handball and beach handball in North America and the Caribbean. It is affiliated to the International Handball Federation (IHF).

NACHC has 21 members countries located within North America and the Caribbean. One of the IHF's six continental confederations, the NACHC was formed officially on 13 April 2019 in Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic). The NACHC headquarters is located in Colorado Springs (United States).

On 14 January 2018, during the IHF Council meeting, Pan-American Team Handball Federation was suspended by International Handball Federation and was divided into two continental confederations namely the North America and the Caribbean Handball Confederation and the South and Central America Handball Confederation. The IHF Council decision was taken on the fact that there were no signs of development at the level of handball and beach handball in the North American, Central American and the Caribbean countries. There was some development at the South American level but that was also not comparable to the other continents like Europe, Asia and Africa.^[1] No team from Americas had ever reached to the semifinal stage of the IHF World Men's Handball Championship and the IHF Men's Junior World Championship. The PATHF appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, and it annulled the IHF's decision.^[2]

At the Extraordinary IHF Congress 2019 the IHF statues were revised to add the new federations.^[3][4]

On 29 October 2019 the new headquarters was opened at the bureaus of USA Team Handball.^[5]
