| General Information |
The 2025 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Europe Regional Final was a cricket tournament that formed part of the qualification process for the 2026 Men's T20 World Cup. It was held in the Netherlands in July 2025.[1][2][3]
Netherlands won the tournament, while Italy qualified for a World Cup for the first time by clinching second place ahead of Jersey on net run-rate after the two teams finished level on points.[4][5]
They will join England and Ireland as Europe's representatives at the 2026 T20 World Cup.[6][7] England qualified directly as a top eight team from the previous edition, while Ireland qualified directly through ICC Men's T20I Team Rankings.[8][9]
Teams and qualification
[edit]In this cycle, a total of 30 teams participated in the European sub-regional phase, which was divided into three events with ten teams competing in each event in two groups of five.[10][11][12][13]
The winners of each sub-regional qualifier advanced to the regional final, where they joined Scotland and Netherlands who received a bye after participating in the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup. Italy advanced from Qualifier A,[14] Jersey advanced from Qualifier B,[15] and Guernsey advanced from Qualifier C.[16][17]
