'''EuroBasket Women''' is a biennial international women's [[Women's basketball|basketball]] competition held between the nations of [[FIBA Europe]] for women's national teams. EuroBasket Women is also used as a qualifying tournament for the [[FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup|FIBA Women's World Cup]] and also the [[Basketball at the Summer Olympics|Olympic Games]].

==History==
The first tournament was held in [[EuroBasket Women 1938|1938]] in [[Fascist Italy (1922–1943)|Fascist Italy]], with participation of only five national teams. Despite losing to [[Lithuania women's national basketball team|Lithuania]] (21–23), the [[Italy women's national basketball team|host team]] won all other matches and captured the inaugural title thanks to better head-to-head point difference among Top 3 teams. [[Lithuania women's national basketball team|Lithuania]] and [[Poland women's national basketball team|Poland]] took silver and bronze medals respectively.

The [[World War II|Second World War]] (1939–1945), which began the following year, interrupted the organization of women's basketball tournaments for a long time. The next continental championship was held in [[Hungary]] only 12 years later, in [[EuroBasket Women 1950|1950]]. From 1950 to 1980, women's championships were held biennially each even year – unlike men's [[EuroBasket|European Basketball Championship]] which were held each odd year. This tournament marked beginning of the era of dominance of the [[Eastern Europe]]an teams which lasted for next four decades. In the last and decisive match of the final round hosts met with [[Soviet Union women's national basketball team|Soviet team]]. [[Hungary women's national basketball team|Hungary]] led after first half (24–22), but in the second half Soviets players looked much better. They managed to achieve victory (45–32) and to won its maiden European title. [[Czechoslovakia women's national basketball team|Czechoslovakia]] took bronze medals. At the next European Championship which was held in [[Moscow]] in [[EuroBasket Women 1952|1952]], Soviet team proved own dominance by beating [[Czechoslovakia women's national basketball team|Czechoslovakia]] and [[Hungary women's national basketball team|Hungary]] with margin of 23 points (52–29) and 30 points respectively (71–41). Two years later in [[Yugoslavia]], Soviet team captured European title for third time by beating Czechoslovakia with margin of 7 points (69–62) in a decisive match of the final round. [[Bulgaria women's national basketball team|Bulgaria]] took bronze European Championship medals for first time. On the next tournament which was held in [[Czechoslovakia]] in [[EuroBasket Women 1956|1956]], Soviet team took gold medals for fourth time in a row by beating Hungarians in the final match (49–41) while hosts took bronze.

[[EuroBasket Women 1958|1958 European Championships]] which was held in [[Łódź]], [[Poland]] became remarkable event. [[Soviet Union women's national basketball team|Soviet Union]], the winner of four previous tournaments, lost European title for first time. In the decisive match of final round, [[Bulgaria women's national basketball team|Bulgaria]] led by [[Vanya Voynova]] managed to beat Soviet team in overtime (54–51) and to break Soviet dominance. This victory was remarkable – it's enough to say that this defeat (alongside with Soviet defeat to [[United States women's national basketball team|United States]] at the [[1957 FIBA World Championship for Women|1957 World Championship]]) remained the only two defeats in the history of participation of Soviet team at all international basketball competitions during very long time – till 1986. Next year [[Soviet Union women's national basketball team|Soviet Union]] took revenge by beating [[Bulgaria]] in the decisive match of the [[1959 FIBA World Championship for Women|1959 World Championship]] which was held in Moscow (51–38). The next European Championship was held in [[EuroBasket Women 1960|1960]] in [[Sofia]], [[Bulgaria]]. Soviet team returned European title although this victory was more difficult. They achieved victory over [[Czechoslovakia women's national basketball team|Czechoslovakia]] (future bronze medalists) with margin of just two points (58–56). In the decisive match of final round, Soviet team again met with Bulgaria. After first half, Bulgarians led with margin of 9 points (22–13). However, in second half Soviet players managed to equal score and then achieve victory in overtime (52–50). Last 5 minutes and overtime of this match were played in an indoor hall of the [[Vasil Levski National Stadium|National Stadium]] due to rain. Two years later European Championship was held in [[France]]. At the group round, [[Soviet Union women's national basketball team|Soviet Union]] defeated [[Czechoslovakia women's national basketball team|Czechoslovakia]] only in overtime (51–49). Later both teams reached final match where Soviet team won with a bigger advantage (63–46). At the next [[EuroBasket Women 1964|1964 European Championships]] which was held in [[Hungary]], Soviet team won third title in a row by beating [[Bulgaria women's national basketball team|Bulgaria]] in the final match with margin of just two points (55–53). Two years later at the [[EuroBasket Women 1966|1966 European Championships]] in [[Romania]], Soviet team won over Czechoslovakia in a final match (74–66).

[[EuroBasket Women 1968|1968 European Championships]] which was held in [[Italy]] became debut for legendary [[center (basketball)|center]] [[Uljana Semjonova|Uļjana (Iulijaka) Semjonova]]. This giant 2.10-meter tall player played key role in Soviet team for next 18 years. From 1968 to 1985, she played at 10 European Championships and always won gold. Before Semjonova's debut, the vast majority of decisive matches were ended with favour of Soviet team but with relatively close margin. With Semjonova in the squad, the superiority of Soviet Union over opponents became overwhelming. Other prominent European basketball national teams at that time, such as Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria or Hungary were huge step behind the Soviet Union. Soviet team played 74 games during these 10 tournaments, and the slimmest margin of victory was 16 points. Another architect of the success of Soviet basketball was [[Lidiya Alekseyeva]] (1924–2014) who took direct participation in 16 Soviet victories at the European Championships – firstly as team captain (4 titles from 1950 to 1956), then as assistant coach (1962) and later as a head coach of national team (record 11 titles from 1964 to 1983). Soviet team was unbeaten not only in Europe, but also in the world. From 1959 to 1985, [[Soviet Union women's national basketball team|Soviet Union]] won all international competitions in which they participated without losing any match - 14 European Championships, 6 World Championships (1959, 1964, 1967, 1971, 1975 and 1983) and 2 Olympic tournaments (1976 and 1980).

After the 1980 Olympic Games and 1980 European Championships, it was decided to hold women's continental tournament biennially each odd year – just like men's [[EuroBasket|European Basketball Championship]]. Soviet team continued to win but in late 1980s, as a result of changing of generation, their superiority became not such overwhelming as it was before. In 1986 they suffered first defeats at international competition for 28 years - at first, they lost to [[United States women's national basketball team|United States]] at the decisive match of the [[1986 Goodwill Games]] with margin of 23 points (60–83) and next month they lost to US team with margin of 20 points (88–108) in the final match of home [[1986 FIBA World Championship for Women|World Championship]] (both matches were played in [[Moscow]]). Nevertheless, Soviet team continued to dominate at European area. They won [[EuroBasket Women 1987|1987 European Championship]] held in [[Spain]] after beating [[Czechoslovakia women's national basketball team|Czechoslovakia]] (89–81) in semifinals and [[Yugoslavia women's national basketball team|Yugoslavia]] (83–73) in the final match. But next year at the [[Basketball at the 1988 Summer Olympics – Women's tournament|1988 Summer Olympics]] in [[Seoul]], [[South Korea]], Yugoslavia managed to perform better - they took silver medals by losing just 7 points to US team in the final match (70–77) while Soviet team surprisingly failed to reach final and unexpectively finished only at third place for first time in their history. At the group round of the [[EuroBasket Women 1989|1989 European Championship]] held in [[Bulgaria]], Soviet team defeated [[Czechoslovakia women's national basketball team|Czechoslovakia]] and [[Netherlands women's national basketball team|Netherlands]] with margin of just 3 points (78–75 and 59–56 respectively) and then reached final where defeated Czechoslovakia once again with same margin (64–61). But at the [[1990 FIBA World Championship for Women|1990 World Championship]] in [[Malaysia]], [[Soviet Union women's national basketball team|Soviet Union]] lost in the second group round to [[Czechoslovakia women's national basketball team|Czechoslovakia]] (79–82) and [[Yugoslavia women's national basketball team|Yugoslavia]] (63–64) and finished only at fifth place. It was first and only time when Soviet team failed to reach podium at the international competition where they participated. Like two years ago, Yugoslavia took silver medals after losing to US in the final match (78–88).

At the next [[EuroBasket Women 1991|1991 European Championship]] held in [[Israel]], Yugoslavia managed to beat Soviet team at the group round (75–74). It was only second defeat of Soviet Union at the continental championships and the first since 1958. Despite this defeat, Soviet team reached final match where met with Yugoslavia once again. In this final, Yugoslavia led with margin of 14 points after first half (53–39), but in the second half Soviet players managed to change situation and won match with margin of 13 points (97–84). It was last participation of Soviet team at the European Championships. Their dominance at this tournament was simply unimaginable. The facts speak for itself: participation in 22 championships resulted in 21 titles as European Champions, 151 matches and 149 wins (the only two defeats: in overtime to Bulgaria in 1958 and one-point defeat by Yugoslavia in 1991), including 114 consecutive wins between 1958 and 1991. It's hard to imagine that any other team from any other sport could ever equal these amazing achievement. Next year the former Soviet players who completed for [[Unified Team at the 1992 Summer Olympics]] in [[Barcelona]], [[Spain]] as a result of Soviet Union's dissolution in December 1991, managed to achieve surprising success after shocking victory over [[United States women's national basketball team|United States]] in semifinals (79–73) and victory over [[China women's national basketball team|China]] in the final match (76–66). There was last participation of Soviet basketball at the international competitions and true "true swan song" of Soviet team which ceased to exist after that.

During four decades, vast majority of the European Championships ended with very predictable results - [[Soviet Union women's national basketball team|Soviet Union]] took gold medals while silver and bronze medals went to other [[Eastern Europe]]an teams. However, in early 1990s situation totally changed after dissolution of [[Soviet Union]], [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|SFR Yugoslavia]] and [[Czechoslovakia]]. It opened way for the success of other national teams and made European Championships much less predictable. At the [[EuroBasket Women 1993|1993 European Championships]] which was held in [[Italy]], [[Slovakia women's national basketball team|Slovakia]] took bronze medals and became only newly formed national team who managed to reach podium. For the first time, two [[Western Europe]]an teams played in the final match – [[Spain women's national basketball team|Spain]] took their maiden European title by beating [[France women's national basketball team|France]] (63–53). It's remarkable that not one of medalists reached the podium at the next [[EuroBasket Women 1995|1995 European Championships]] which was held in [[Czech Republic]]. Led by Olympic Champions [[Maryna Tkachenko]] and [[Olena Zhyrko]], [[Ukraine women's national basketball team|Ukraine]] became the first post-Soviet national team to win European title after victories over [[Russia women's national basketball team|Russia]] in semifinals (69–64) and over [[Italy women's national basketball team|Italy]] in the final match (77–66). Russian team also took podium after beating Slovakia in the bronze medal match (69–50). [[EuroBasket Women 1997|1997 European Championships]] became successful for [[Lithuania women's national basketball team|Lithuania]] who beat Slovakia in the final match (72–62) while [[Germany women's national basketball team|Germany]] took bronze medals and reached podium for first time after the [[German reunification]]. Two years later [[Poland women's national basketball team|Poland]] achieved their maiden success at the home [[EuroBasket Women 1999|1999 European Championships]] by beating [[France women's national basketball team|France]] in the final match (59–56) while Russia took bronze medals. In [[EuroBasket Women 2001|2001]] France also won maiden European title at home championship after victory over Russia in the final match (73–68).

The next two tournaments finished by final matches between [[Russia women's national basketball team|Russia]] and [[Czech Republic women's national basketball team|Czech Republic]]. In [[EuroBasket Women 2003|2003]], Russia won with score 59–56 and achieved their first European title after dissolution of [[Soviet Union]]. In [[EuroBasket Women 2005|2005]], Czech Republic took revenge (72–70) and also achieved their maiden trophy while [[Spain women's national basketball team|Spain]] won bronze medals for third time in a row. Two years later Russia won European title for second time after victory over Spain in the final match (74–68) while [[Belarus women's national basketball team|Belarus]] took bronze medals and reached podium for first time. In [[EuroBasket Women 2009|2009]], [[France women's national basketball team|France]] defeated Russia in the final match (57–53) and became European Champions for second time while Spain finished 3rd. Two years later Russia won European Championship for third time by beating [[Turkey women's national basketball team]] in the final match (59–42). Nevertheless, it was first European medals for Turkish team. [[France women's national basketball team|France]] won bronze medals. At next four European Championship, French team reach final matches but lost all four matches. In [[EuroBasket Women 2013|2013]] at the home championship, they lost final to Spanish team with margin of just one point (69–70). In [[EuroBasket Women 2015|2015]], French players lost final match to [[Serbia women's national basketball team|Serbia]] who won European title for first time. [[EuroBasket Women 2017|2017]] and [[EuroBasket Women 2019|2019]] finals were ended in favour of Spain who defeated France (71–55 and 86–66 respectively) thus becoming first national team since 1991 years who managed to defend their own European title. The next [[EuroBasket Women 2021|2021 European Championship]] was co-hosted by [[France]] and [[Spain]]. It was won by [[Serbia women's national basketball team|Serbia]] – for second time in history. [[France women's national basketball team|France]] lost final match for fifth time in a row (54–63) while [[Belgium women's national basketball team|Belgium]] finished in third place. 

In [[EuroBasket Women 2023|2023]], [[Belgium women's national basketball team|Belgium]] won their maiden trophy after victory over Spain in the final match (64–58) while France finished 3rd.

The 39 European Championship tournaments have been won by 12 different nations. The most successful nation is the now defunct [[Soviet Union national basketball team|Soviet Union]] with 21 titles. The other European Championship winners are [[Spain women's national basketball team|Spain]], with four titles; [[Russia women's national basketball team|Russia]], with three titles; [[France women's national basketball team|France]] and [[Serbia women's national basketball team|Serbia]], with two titles each; as well as [[Belgium women's national basketball team|Belgium]], [[Bulgaria women's national basketball team|Bulgaria]], [[Czech Republic women's national basketball team|Czech Republic]], [[Italy women's national basketball team|Italy]], [[Lithuania women's national basketball team|Lithuania]], [[Poland women's national basketball team|Poland]], and [[Ukraine women's national basketball team|Ukraine]], with one title each.
