The 51st European Luge Championships were held on January 18 and 19, 2020 as part of the 5th World Cup race of the 2019/20 season on the Hunderfossen bobsleigh and sled run in Lillehammer , Norway .

The continental title fights organized by the Fédération Internationale de Luge de Course took place for the first time on the Olympic track in 1994 and 2016 (Winter Youth Olympic Games). Race-in-race competitions (the World Cup races are also European championship races) were held in the single-seaters for men and women, the doubles-seaters and in the team relay discipline . With the exception of the last competition, all competitions were decided in two runs.

At the end of April 2019, the FIL World Luge Federation announced that the 51st European Luge Championships would take place on the Hunderfossen bobsleigh and racing sled track in Lillehammer. Lillehammer was the last venue for a Luge World Cup during the 2017/18 season .

Defending champion

At the last European Championships in 2019 on the Oberhof Luge Track, Natalie Geisenberger won in the women's singles, Semjon Pawlitschenko in the men, the doubles Tobias Wendl and Tobias Arlt and the Italian team relay with Andrea Vötter , Dominik Fischnaller , Ivan Nagler , Fabian Malleier . Natalie Geisenberger interrupted her active career at the beginning of the 2019/20 season due to pregnancy and will therefore be the only defending champion not to defend her European title.
