England's record at the Women's Euros

We take a look at England's all-time record at the Women's Euros.

Football

England were participants in the first ever Women's Euros in 1984 which the Lionesses co-hosted along with Denmark, Italy and Sweden.

Managed by Martin Reagan, England made it all the way to a two-legged final of the 1984 Euros before succumbing to Sweden on penalties.

The Lionesses would come undone against Sweden again three years later at the 1987 Euros tournament hosted by Norway, winning their qualifying group before losing to the Swedes 3-2 after extra time.

England would then spend a period in Euros wilderness, failing to qualify for the next three tournaments in 1991, 1993 and 1995.

The 1995 tournament, in which England co-hosted alongside Germany, Norway and Sweden, would see the Lionesses return to the European stage in impressive fashion - reaching the semis before losing comprehensively to eventual winners Germany over two legs.

The following decade passed with England unable to achieve any particular success at the Euros, failing to qualify in 1997 before being eliminated in the group stages in 2001 and 2005 - the latter of which a tournament held at home.

The 2009 showpiece saw the Lionesses come closest to getting their hands on an elusive first Euros crown, reaching the final under Hope Powell before being trounced 6-2 by champions Germany.

Following a group stage exit in 2013 in Sweden, England enjoyed a strong run at Euro 2017 in the Netherlands, reaching the semi-finals where they were beaten 3-0 by the hosts who would go on to win the tournament.

Finally, in a home tournament at Euro 2022, England would be crowned champions of Europe for the first time with Sarina Wiegman's Lionesses defeating Germany 2-1 after extra time in the Wembley final.
