The Women's Euro Hockey League is the newest annual women's field hockey tournament organised by the EHF for the very top hockey clubs in Europe.

The competition was supposed to start in 2020 replacing the old EuroHockey Club Cup. ^[1] The first edition was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe. ^[2]

The tournament has only been won by Dutch teams with Den Bosch claiming three and Amsterdam two titles.
