The 2025 Women's EuroHockey Championship was the 17th edition of the Women's EuroHockey Championship, the biennial international women's field hockey championship of Europe organised by the European Hockey Federation.

The tournament was held alongside the men's tournament at the Warsteiner HockeyPark in Mönchengladbach, Germany from 9 to 17 August 2025.[1][2] It was the third time Mönchengladbach hosted the event.

The Netherlands were the four-time defending champions and won their 13th title with a win over Germany.[3] The winner would qualify for the 2026 Women's FIH Hockey World Cup to be held in Wavre, Belgium and Amstelveen, Netherlands.[4] As the Netherlands won this tournament, Spain qualified.

Qualification

The top six team from the 2023 edition have qualified directly for this edition of the tournament.[5] The last two teams will be the winners of the two sets of EuroHockey Qualifiers taking place in Glasgow, Scotland and Douai, France in August 2024.[6][7]
