Women's Euro Hockey League

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. The first edition was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe.

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

Format
The tournament is held at the same location as the men's Final 8. For the first time the women's competition will be fully produced for television and there will be a video umpire.

Original format (2020–2024)
The new tournament had the same format as the old EuroHockey Club Cup. This meant eight teams participated in a knockout tournament, with the losers playing classification matches for their ranking. Teams qualified for the Euro Hockey League similarly to before with the top two nations on the EHL rankings table earning two places in the competition while the next six nations received one entry.

Expansion (2025–)
In March 2024, it was announced the competition would expand to 12 teams. The expansion will see the number of nations represented rise from six to eight for a FINAL12 phase which will take place at Easter. It means the top four nations on the EHL Ranking Table will receive two places for the FINAL12 with the nations ranked fifth to eighth all receiving one spot each. The format sees eight teams play preliminary games with the four winners advancing to the EHL Women’s FINAL8 while the losers will contest Ranking Matches for 9th to 11th. The champions from the top four nations on the Ranking Table will receive byes into the FINAL8.
