Information About

Uefa Women's Championship




The predecessor tournament to the UEFA Women's Championship began in the early 1980s , under the name ''UEFA European Competition for Representative Women's Teams''. With increasing popularity of women's football, the competition was given European Championship status by UEFA around 1990 . Only the 1991 and 1995 editions have been used as European qualifiers for a World Cup ; starting in 1999, the group system used in men's qualifiers was also used for women's national teams.

Six ''UEFA Women's Championships'' have taken place, preceded by 3 editions of the earlier ''European Competition for Representative Women's Teams''. The most recent holding of the competition was the 2005 Women's Euro , which took place in England from June 5 to June 19 2005 .
