About the competition

Main article: UEFA Women's Championship

In 1984 there was no finals tournament. Instead, the competition took place as follows: UEFA divided all entrant countries into four groups. Four group winners were determined on a points basis after all teams played each other both home and away. ^[5] Two points were awarded for a win throughout this period. The four group winners were paired off and played each other as a knockout competition on a two-legged home & away basis. The final was two-legged. ^[6]

From 1987 there has been a finals tournament and a single host nation, always chosen from the eventual qualifiers. From 1987 until 1993 there were four teams in the finals, increased to eight in 1997, then expanded again to 12 for 2009 and 17 from 2017 onwards. In 1995 the competition proceeded on a two-legged home & away basis until a one-off final.

Note: All tournaments have been two-year campaigns. The year represents the year in which the finals actually took place.
