European Canoe Polo Championships is the main canoe polo championships in Europe by European Canoe Association.
History
The European Canoe Pole Championships are the European premier event for national canoe pole teams, governed by the European Canoe Association (ECA). Its history dates back to 1993, when the first unofficial European Men's and Women's Championships were held in the United Kingdom. Their results are therefore not included in historical tables, but they are nevertheless a milestone in the promotion of canoe polo on a European and world scale. The first official European Men's and Women's Championships were held in Italy in 1995. They are held every 2 years.
In 1990, the European Nations Cup was held in France, which was not under the auspices of the International Canoe Federation (ICF) (the ECA did not exist at the time), with the participation of 5 men's teams. Since 2001, the championships have been held in addition to the men's and women's categories, as well as in the men's under-21 and women's under-21 categories.
