The European Champion Clubs Cup is an annual athletics competition between the European athletics clubs that are the reigning champions at national level.[1]
The competition is organised by the European Athletics Association and was first held in 1975 as a men's only event. A separate women's competition was initiated in 1981.[2] Due to large number of nations entering teams, a divisional format was introduced in 1988 for men and 1995 for women. Each club enters 1 athlete per individual event, except in the men's cups of 1975 and between 1977 and 1982 when 2 athletes were entered per individual event.[3]
