England at the UEFA Women's Championship

England's UEFA Women's Championship Record includes reaching the UEFA Women's Championship final twice, in 1984 and 2009. England women have also been losing semi-finalists on two occasions, and got knocked out in the finals group stage twice. On four occasions, including the 1989 to 1991 finals inclusive, England have failed to qualify for the final tournament.

About the competition

In 1984 there was no finals tournament. Instead, the competition took place as follows: UEFA divided all entrant countries into four groups. Four group winners were determined on a points basis after all teams played each other both home and away. Two points were awarded for a win throughout this period. The four group winners were paired off and played each other as a knockout competition on a two-legged home & away basis. The final was two-legged.

From 1987 there has been a finals tournament and a single host nation, always chosen from the eventual qualifiers. From 1987 until 1993 there were four teams in the finals, increased to eight in 1997, then expanded again to 12 for 2009. In 1995 the competition proceeded on a two-legged home & away basis until a one-off final.

Note: All tournaments have been two-year campaigns. The year represents the year in which the finals actually took place.
