The European Bowls Championship is a biennial continental lawn bowls tournament for European nations, organised by the European Bowls Union (EBU). Three events are held; Men’s Pairs, Ladies Pairs and Mixed Fours, in which gold, silver and bronze medals are awarded. The overall Team Champions are determined based on a points system.
The tournament was established so it enabled smaller countries in Europe to participate competitively against other more established bowls-playing countries, maintaining the EBU’s prinicple aim, which is to foster and develop the sport of lawn bowls throughout Europe.
The first championship was held in 1997, with financial help from the Guernsey Tourist Board. The format of the championship has changed throughout the tournament’s history.
