Italy at the UEFA Women's Championship


Italy have participated 13 times at UEFA Women's Championship.

While the men's senior team have won once the UEFA European Championship, the women's team is yet to win a single edition.[1] Italy have participated in the inaugural European Championship in 1984, where they were eliminated in the semi-finals against Sweden. Italy have failed the qualification once, in 1995.[2]

Italy lost two finals: in 1993 against Norway[3] and in 1997 against Germany.[4] It is the best Italy's record.[5]
