# 2024–25 LEN Women's Euro Cup

The 2024–25 LEN Women's Euro Cup is the 26th edition of Europe's secondary club water polo competition organised by the European Aquatics. Antenore Plebiscito Padova are the reigning champions, although they will not defend their title after qualifying for the Main round of the Champions League.

## Format

The fourteen teams that failed to make the Women's Champions League group stage go into three round robin groups of four and five. The groups are held at a centralised venue.
