It was held alongside the men's tournament from 17 to 25 August 2019 in Antwerp, Belgium.[1][2] The tournament also served as a direct qualifier for the 2020 Tokyo olympics, with the winner qualifying.
The Netherlands won their tenth overall title after defeating Germany 2–0 in the final.[3] Meanwhile, Spain conquered the bronze medal after a penalty-shootout win over England.[4]
The eight teams were split into two groups of four teams. The top two teams advanced to the semifinals to determine the winner in a knockout system. The bottom two teams played in a new group with the teams they did not play against in the group stage. The last two teams were relegated to the EuroHockey Championship II.
As per statistical convention in field hockey, matches decided in extra time are counted as wins and losses, while matches decided by penalty shoot-outs are counted as draws.
