Ireland.

Assumimg you are speaking of the handball game played off the wall in singles or doubles format - as in squash without racquets: It is believed to have origins in Ireland.

From there, the 2 chief export countries were United States and Australia.

Team handball, on the other hand, was formerly known as European handball.
