European Championship D is the fourth tier of the rugby league European Championships and was founded in 2020.
History
[edit]The inaugural tournament was in 2021. The competition was intended to be scrapped in 2023 due to expansion of Euro A and Euro B, however this never materialised.
In March 2025, the European Rugby League (ERL) announced the return of the tournament for Euro B, C, and D, with the competition returning to a three team per division competition. Competing nations were reseaded based off Rank, with the 2025 and 2026 tournaments confirmed. The ERL stated its aim to restart Euro A in 2027 following the 2026 Men's Rugby League World Cup, with the top European teams unable to join earlier due to commitments in the qualification tournament for the World Cup.[1]
