Women's EHF Euro Cup is a European handball competition for national teams, organized by the European Handball Federation (EHF). The reigning defending champions are Norway.

Contents

Teams, that automatically qualified for the next European Women's Handball Championship, play against each other in a four-team group. The tournament is played at the same time as the qualifying process for the European Championships. The inaugural edition of the tournament started in 2021, alongside the 2022 European Women's Handball Championship qualification. [1]

Qualification

Four teams participate in this competition. Qualification depends on how many hosts/co-host there are. For example, if there are three co-hosts, then only the European Women's Handball Championship champions will take part.
