The '''Europe Top 16''', also known as the '''Europe Top 16 Cup''' and previously known as the Europe Top 12, is a [[table tennis]] tournament organised annually by the [[European Table Tennis Union]] (ETTU), featuring the highest-ranked players in Europe.<ref>{{cite web|title=Europe Top 16 / General Information|url=http://www.ettu.org/en/events/ittf-europe-top-16/general-information/|website=ETTU|access-date=17 March 2017}}</ref>

==History==

The first event was held in 1971 in [[Zadar]], [[Yugoslavia]] (now part of [[Croatia]]) as an experimental classification tournament. Twelve male players and six female players took part, with [[István Jónyer]] and [[Beatrix Kisházi]], both from [[Hungary]], winning the inaugural men's and women's competitions respectively. The tournament would go on to be held each year in different venues, and would become known as the Europe Top 12.<ref name="ETTUhistory">{{cite web|title=About ETTU / History|url=http://www.ettu.org/en/about-ettu/history/|website=ETTU|access-date=17 March 2017}}</ref>

[[File:Jan-Ove Waldner.JPG|thumb|170px|[[Jan-Ove Waldner]]]]

From 1971 until 1989, the tournament used a [[Round-robin tournament|round-robin]] format; all players played each other once, with the champion being the player who accumulated the most wins. From 1990, there was a change of format; the twelve players were divided into two round-robin groups, with the top two players from each group progressing to semi-finals, followed by a final. At the 2001 tournament the twelve players were divided into four groups for the first time, with the group winners qualifying for the semi-finals, and from 2002 it was decided that the top two players from each group would qualify for quarter-finals, with [[Single-elimination tournament|knockout rounds]] to decide the winner. From 2015, the number of players qualifying for both the men's and women's events was increased to 16, and the tournament's name was changed to the Europe Top 16.<ref name="eventhistory"/><ref name="ETTUhistory"/>

Sweden's [[Jan-Ove Waldner]] is the most successful player in the history of the men's event, winning the tournament seven times and finishing runner-up on a further four occasions between 1984 and 1996. [[Beatrix Kisházi]] of Hungary and [[Li Jiao (table tennis)|Li Jiao]] of the Netherlands share the record for most wins in the women's event, with four wins each. Kisházi won the first three editions of the tournament from 1971 to 1973 and regained the title in 1977, while Li's four title wins came between 2007 and 2011.<ref>{{cite web|title=ETTHoF / Jan-Ove Waldner|url=http://etthof.org/project/jan-ove-waldner/|website=European Table Tennis Hall of Fame|access-date=17 March 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Li Jiao, One Title Away from Surpassing the Achievements of Beatrix Kishazi|url=http://www.old.ittf.com/_front_page/ittf_full_story2.asp?ID=34226&Category=|website=ITTF|access-date=17 March 2017}}</ref>

==Qualification==

Since 2019, the 16 participants in both the men's and the women's tournaments qualify as follows:<ref name="2019prospectus">{{cite web |title=2019 Europe Top 16 Cup / Prospectus |url=https://www.ittf.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/2019_Top_16_Cup_Prospectus.pdf |website=ITTF |access-date=5 February 2019}}</ref>

* 14 additional players based on the European rankings at the time, subject to a maximum of two players from any association.

The semi-final losers play off for third and fourth place.<ref>{{cite web|title=Top 16 Cup – two days knock out tournament|url=http://www.ettu.org/en/n/news/october/top-16-cup-----two-days-knock-out-tournament/|website=ETTU|access-date=22 February 2018}}</ref> The top three players in both the men's and the women's tournaments will be guaranteed a place at the [[Table Tennis World Cup]], subject to a maximum of two players from any association.<ref name="2019prospectus"/>
