The 2021 Women's EuroHockey Championship was the 15th 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 Wagener Stadium in Amstelveen, Netherlands and was originally scheduled to take place from 20 to 29 August 2021.[1][2] However, following the postponement of the 2020 Summer Olympics to July and August 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic the tournament was rescheduled and takes place from 5 to 13 June 2021.[3]
The top three teams not already qualified qualified for the 2022 World Cup.[4] The hosts Netherlands won the tournament for the eleventh time, beating Germany 2–0 . Belgium won the bronze medal, defeating Spain with 3–1.[5]
