EHF Euro Cup

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

Teams, that already automatically qualified for the next European Men'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 men's tournament was in 2020.

Creation
The EHF supported the creation of the event at an EHF meeting in February 2017.

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 Men's Handball Championship champions will take part.

Women's competition
After the introduction of the Men's event, the EHF decided to create a Women's version, starting in 2022.
