UEFA Women's Euros winners: All-time list of nations to win European Championship

The UEFA Women's Euro 2025 concluded on July 27 with the final in Basel.

England defended the title they won three years previously by defeating Spain on penalties after the scores finished level at 1-1 at the end of 120 minutes of gripping action.

The Lionesses are only the second nation in history to go back-to-back in this competition, while coach Sarina Wiegman achieved something only two others have managed before.

The Sporting News looks at the complete list of Women's Euros winners since the tournament's inception in 1984.

UEFA Women's Euros winners: All-time list

The UEFA Women's Euros has grown exponentially from its founding competition in 1984, where just four teams took part, to the world-class tournament that it now represents. Historically, Germany are the most successful nation with eight Euros titles (one of which came when they were still competing as West Germany in 1989).

Originally, due to the perceived unsuitability of football for women that led to the sport being banned in countries like England until 1970, the tournament was played with truncated halves of 35 minutes and a smaller ball.

However, since then, the competition has grown from strength to strength to develop into what it is today, with 16 teams vying to lift the Euros trophy. The 2025 edition was the biggest yet and smashed records set in 2022 — something reflected in the astounding prize money increase of 156% to a staggering €41 million.

Who has won the most Women's Euros trophies?

In terms of nations, Germany holds the most titles, with an incredible eight wins from 14 tournaments. Their most recent was in 2013, where they beat Norway to the title.

Former stars Birgit Prinz and Nadine Angerer are the most successful players in Women's Euros history, each having won the tournament five times.

Germany also boast the top goal-scorers ever in the competition, as both Inka Grings and Prinz have scored 10 each during their time on the pitch.

Sarina Wiegman, England's head coach, became the first coach to win successive Euros with different teams after she moved from the Netherlands, who won in 2017, to the Lionesses, who emerged victorious in 2022. Her third trophy saw her equal the feat of former Germany bosses Gero Bisanz and Tina Theune.

Sarina Wiegman has become the third manager to win three consecutive women's Euros titles after Germany duo Gero Bisanz (1989, 1991, 1995) and Tina Theune (1997, 2001, 2005) ⭐️⭐️⭐️#WEuro2025 #BBCFootball pic.twitter.com/GE4V5Nf7gb

However, she is not the coach with the most Euros tournament appearances. That honour is shared between Bisanz with Germany, Even Pellerud with Norway and Hope Powell with England, who all led their sides to four Euros finals each.
