The Royal Spanish Table Tennis Federation won the right to host the European Championships in 2018 following their successful bid to the European Table Tennis Union.
But it was in 1958, in Hungary, that the European Championships first took place and you can read all about the history of the championships, and get previous results, here.
Initially the Championships were a biennial event, taking place in even numbered years, but now it's held annually during September/October.
