Julie Aagaard Poulsen (born 30 January 1992) is a retired Danish handball athlete. She was a member of Denmark's junior national squad that secured victory at the 2011 Women's U-19 European Handball Championship held in the Netherlands, where she ranked as the team's second top scorer in the final match.
In 2012, she appeared in two games representing the Danish senior national team.
Club career
Aagaard launched her professional handball journey at the age of 15 with Aalborg DH, participating in the Champions League competition. Following a single season with Viborg HK, she transferred to SK Aarhus due to diminishing enthusiasm for the sport. Her intended comeback to Aalborg DH was halted by the club's insolvency, prompting her to join Ringkøbing Håndbold while simultaneously pursuing studies in physiotherapy. Nevertheless, she paused her handball career after four months because of burnout.
After completing her academic program in 2017, she resumed playing at an elite level with Silkeborg-Voel KFUM. Later that year, she moved back to EH Aalborg, where she played a role in the team's flawless campaign during the 2020 season of the Danish 1st division.
