The UEFA European Championship (the 'Euros') is a national men's football competition between European countries, held every four years. Here are all the winners since the Soviet Union won the first in 1960.

Ten different countries have won the tournament: Spain have won four times, Germany has three titles, France and Italy with two titles while Portugal, Netherlands, Denmark, Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia and Greece have one title each. Spain is the only country to win consecutive titles, in 2008 and 2012.

Nations Still Seeking Glory

While ten nations have lifted the Henri Delaunay Trophy, several European teams continue to chase their first title. England have reached two consecutive finals (2021, 2024) without winning, while the Republic of Ireland qualified for Euro 2016 and memorably knocked out Italy in the group stage.

The tournament remains hugely popular across the continent — betting in Ireland peaks during major tournaments as fans back their team and follow the action across Europe.
