Womens Eurobasket
EuroBasket Women is a biennial international women's basketball competition held between the nations of FIBA Europe for women's national teams.

The next continental championship was held in Hungary only 12 years later, in 1950. From 1950 to 1980, women's championships were held biennially each even year – unlike men's European Basketball Championship which were held each odd ...
