Regions of Hungary
In 1999, seven regions were created in Hungary , also to meet the requirements of the European Union (they correspond to NUTS 2 level in European statistics ). These regions are made up of the counties of Hungary and serve primarily statistical purposes.

Euroregions
The following Euroregions are at least partially within Hungary:
- Carpathian Euroregion : Győr-Moson-Sopron, Vas, Zala
- Danube-Drava-Sava Euroregion : Baranya, Somogy
- Euroregion Danube-Kreisch-Marosch-Tisza (DKMT): Bács-Kiskun, Békés, Csongrád, Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok

The boundaries of the counties do not always coincide with those of the Euroregions, which means that they can overlap.
