The UEFA European Championship, known as the Euro Cup is the main Soccer competition of the mens national soccer teams governed by the UEFA. Held every four years since 1960, in the even-numbered year between World Cup tournaments, it was originally called the European Nations Cup, changing to the name European Football Championship in 1968. There is a UEFA Womens Championship inaugurated in 1984 and from 1997 held every four years, as well as a Mens Under-21 equivalent of the UEFA European Championship tournament, taking place every two years.

 
Until 1976, only four teams qualified for the final tournament of the Euro Cup. From 1980 eight teams competed and from 1996 sixteen teams have played in each tournament. The competing teams are chosen by a series of qualifying games: in 1960 and 1964 through home and away play-offs; from 1968 through a combination of both qualifying groups and play-off games. Until 1976, the host country was selected from the four finalists after they were determined through qualifying. Since the expansion of the final tournament starting from 1980, the host country, or countries, have been chosen beforehand and qualify automatically. The defending champions have never been granted an automatic place in the finals.
 
The Henri Delaunay Trophy, which is awarded to the winner of the European Football Championship, is named in honor of Henri Delaunay, the first General Secretary of UEFA, who came up with the idea of a European championship but died five years prior to the first tournament in 1960. His son Pierre Delaunay was the person in charge of making the trophy. Since the first tournament, it has been awarded for the winning team to keep for four years, until the next tournament.
