Inverness Caledonian Thistle F.C. in European football

Inverness Caledonian Thistle F.C. played their first official match in European competition on 16 July 2015. This made the club the first (and as of 2024, only) club from the Highlands to represent the area in European football.

Inverness' best run in European competition was their debut against Astra Giurgiu of Romania where they narrowly lost 1–0 on aggregate thanks to a Constantin Budescu free kick in Inverness, denying an all British tie in the following round against English Premier League side, West Ham United.

Inverness first qualified for Europe with a 3rd-placed finish, and a Scottish Cup title in the 2014–15 season following a 1–0 away victory over Dundee in the League, with the Scottish Cup title moving them forward a round. However, they narrowly missed out on an earlier European debut in the 2012–13 season, after a crushing 1–0 defeat against rivals, Ross County on the final day of the season forced Inverness out of the top 3, and missing European qualification by 2 points.

Inverness again nearly qualified for Europe, in 2023 via the Scottish Cup, where they lost the final 3–1 to Celtic. Had they won, they would've entered the Europa League Play-Off and would have been guaranteed Group Stage football in either the Europa League or Europa Conference League.
