The final was decided by a penalty shoot-out, with Chloe Kelly scoring the winning kick and retaining England's crown.

The current holders are England, who beat world champions Spain in the 2025 final to claim back-to-back European titles and become the first senior English team in history (men’s and women’s) to win a major international football tournament on foreign soil.

England have won the European Championship for the second time in a row, beating Spain 3-1 on penalties after a 1-1 draw. Goalkeeper Hannah Hampton was the hero, saving two penalties before Chloe Kelly smashed in the winning spot kick.
