European pool billiards championship

European Championship 2008 in Willingen

The European Pool Billiards Championship has been held annually by the European Pocket Billiard Federation since 1978 .

In the starting year only in the disciplines 8-ball and 14 and 1 endless men's European championship titles were awarded. In 1981 European championships for women were added in the same disciplines. Since 1985 9-ball has been played as the third discipline for women and men. The men's and women's European team champions have been determined since 1985 and 1989 respectively. From 2005 to 2011, however, there were no team competitions. The title of European champion for wheelchair users has been awarded since 1999 in the 8-ball and 9-ball disciplines, also as part of the European championship.

With the European Championships in Zagreb in 2010, 10-ball was added as a further discipline that is played by men and women as well as wheelchair users.

Venues

The venue for the European Championships is identical in all three disciplines for men, women and wheelchair users and changes annually. Only 1992 was an exception, as the 9-ball competition for women and men was held in Velden , Austria , while the 8-ball and 14/1 championships were held in Ljubljana , Slovenia .

Germany has hosted five European championships so far: 1980 in Alsdorf , 1987 in Stolberg , 2006 in Brandenburg an der Havel , 2008 in Willingen and 2011 again in Brandenburg an der Havel.

Austria has also hosted the European Championship five times (1985 in St. Johann , 1992 in Velden , 2000 in Bregenz and again in 2009 and 2016 in St. Johann). The European Championship has taken place twice in Switzerland: 1981 in Bern and 1990 in St. Moritz .
