France won the right to host the European Championships in 2019.

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 they're held annually during September/October.

However, from 2011, the team events are only being played every two years.

So let's take a quick look at the...

New System for 2019

European Table Tennis Union logo

In 2017, a new system was agreed for the 2019 European Teams Championships.

These European Teams Championships were played over a period of two years, with the finals consisting of 24 men's teams and 24 women's teams played from 3-8 September 2019.

Each member Association could only enter one team in the Men's and/or one team in the Women's event with up to 5 players in a Men's team and up to 5 players in a Women's team.

Stage one was played between February and December 2018, and stage two in May 2019.

However, the winner of the previous European Team Championships (Germany) and the host for the final stage of the Team Championships (France) proceeded directly to the finals.

The teams in stages one and two competed for the remaining 22 places at the finals held in September 2019.

Those final 24 teams then played for the title of European Team Champions.

Match Procedure

Teams consisted of 3 or 4 players.

Each match consisted of up to 5 singles (each the best of 5 games) and were played on one table.

Before the match starts, the team captains decide by lot the right to choose whether they are team A or team B.

They then nominate their 3 or 4 players to the referee and assigned a letter and number to each player (A1, A2, A3, A4 or B1, B2, B3, B4).

The order of play is...

  1. A1 v B2
  2. A2 v B1
  3. A3 v B3
  4. A1 v B1
  5. A2 v B2

...and the matches end when a team has won 3 individual matches.

However, after the second singles, the fourth ranked player may replace player A1 or A2 (home team) or player B1 or B2 (away team). But this must be announced by the respective team captain to the referee before the start of the third singles.

However, it's run by one person only (Martin Hughes) and has high running costs that need to be paid for.

This web site receives thousands of visitors every day and therefore, to keep it completely free to use, advertising and affiliate links appear on this web site.

However, these adverts and affiliate links do not influence the advice and recommendations given on this web site.

My intention has always been to give you the best possible information, advice and recommendations, based on my 50+ years involvement in the sport.

Advertising

Adverts appear automatically on my site, provided by third parties, and are not directly controlled by me.

When you click on an advert, it's tracked to AATT and will generate a small payment to me.

Affiliate links*

Affiliate links are links to other web sites who sell related table tennis products.

These work in the same way as normal links, but when you click on it, the link is tracked to AATT and, if you make a purchase, may generate a small payment to me.

They do not cost you anything to use, and any products you choose to buy will not cost you any more than if you went directly to that web site.

These are principally links to Megaspin, Amazon and Bribar, but may include others from time to time.

These links are identified by having an asterisk (*) by its side.

AATT cannot identify any user who clicks on an advert or affiliate link.
