The 2019 Women’s Euro Beach Soccer Cup was the fourth edition of the Women's Euro Beach Soccer Cup, an annual European beach soccer championship for women's national teams, organised by Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW). The event was revealed on 25 April 2019.[1]
Six nations took part in a three-day competition, hosted in the same location as the previous two editions, Nazaré, Portugal, between 5 and 7 July, alongside the first stage of the men's 2019 Euro Beach Soccer League.[1] It was the final edition of the competition, being replaced by the Women's Euro Beach Soccer League.
Russia were the defending champions and successfully retained their crown, defeating Spain in the final to win their second successive title,[2] also becoming the first nation to win the tournament more than once.
