European wrestling championships

European wrestling championships were held for the first time in 1911. After the men had only wrestled in Greco-Roman at the beginning, the freestyle style was added for the men in 1929, in which women have also been fighting since 1988.

Unofficial European championships were held as early as 1898. A total of twelve such unofficial competitions had been held by 1914.
