UEFA Women's Euros history

First launched in 1984, Germany have dominated the competition, winning eight of the 13 editions which includes a run of six consecutive triumphs between 1995 and 2013.

Fascinatingly, Germany have only lost four matches in UEFA Women's Euro history.

Norway are the only other nation to win the Euros more than once, while Sweden, Netherlands and England are all one-time winners of the tournament.

From 1984 to 1995, the competition was played as a four-team event before being expanded to eight teams in 1997. It grew again to 12 teams in 2007 and enlarged again in 2017, adopting its current 16-team format.
