The creation of the competition stemmed from the 2013 European Athletics Congress. The event was created to promote the sport among young people in Europe. Each country may send a maximum of two athletes per event.[1] The European U18 Championships will be the third age category championships organised by the European Athletic Association, following on from the long-running European Athletics U20 Championships (first held in 1970) and the European Athletics U23 Championships (first held in 1997).

The first iteration of the championships took place in 2016. This means that the event serves in the alternate years between the European Youth Olympic Festival, another biennial under-18s event hosted by the European Olympic Committees.[2]
