UEFA Women's Championship 1985292 223942256 2008-07-06T16:56:33Z Lightbot 7178666 Units/dates/other The '''UEFA Women's Championship''', held every fourth year, is the main competition in [[women's football (soccer)]] between national teams of the [[UEFA]] Confederation. The competition is the women's equivalent of the [[UEFA European Football Championship|UEFA European Championship]], and is sometimes called the '''Women's Euro''' or '''European Women's Football Championship'''. The predecessor tournament to the UEFA Women's Championship began in the early 1980s, under the name ''UEFA European Competition for Representative Women's Teams''. With increasing popularity of women's football, the competition was given European Championship status by UEFA around 1990. Only the [[1991 UEFA Women's Championship|1991]] and [[1995 UEFA Women's Championship|1995]] editions have been used as European qualifiers for a [[FIFA Women's World Cup|World Cup]]; starting in 1999, the group system used in men's qualifiers was also used for women's national teams. Six ''UEFA Women's Championships'' have taken place, preceded by 3 editions of the earlier ''European Competition for Representative Women's Teams''. The most recent holding of the competition was the [[2005 UEFA Women's Championship|2005 Women's Euro]], which took place in [[England]] from [[June 5]] to [[June 19]] [[2005]]. ==Results== The following results are from the finals of the respective Championships (see [http://www.uefa.com/Competitions/woco/AllTimeStatistics/index.html]). ''aet'' denotes ''after [[extra time]]'' and ''gg'' denotes ''[[golden goal]]''. ===Winners of the European Competition for Representative Women's Teams (old event name)=== {| class="wikitable" style="font-size: 90%;
