EuroHockey Club Champions Cup (men, field)

The EuroHockey Club Champions Cup (men's field) was a European Cup competition held by the European Hockey Federation (EHF) between 1974 and 2007 , in which the European men's field hockey champions were allowed to compete. In contrast to some European Cup competitions for some other sports, the EuroHockey Club Champions Cup, which has been unofficially introduced since 1969, was played in tournament form. The tournament, formerly known as the European Champion's Cup, took place every year over four days at Whitsun. Representatives from five countries were able to secure the cup, with German clubs achieving the most successful results with 16 titles, followed by eight successes by Dutch teams. Record winner Uhlenhorst Mülheim won the tournament nine times in a row from 1988 to 1996 . The last title holder is the Crefeld HTC with a 1-0 in the final against the Spanish team of Ono Atletic Terrassa . For the 2007/08 season, the EuroHockey Club Champions Cup was replaced by a competition with up to three participants per country, the Euro Hockey League, similar to other sports .

Competition mode

Eight teams, each champion of their country, played the title. The participating countries were those whose champions took the first six places in the previous year, and the two countries whose clubs had reached the final in the second-rate EuroHockey Club Champions Trophy a year earlier. The last two countries in the Cup were relegated to the Trophy. The same rules for promotion and relegation existed for the third-class Challenge I and the fourth-class Challenge II.
