The European Games is a continental multi-sport event in the Olympic tradition contested by athletes from countries served by national Olympic committees within the European Olympic Committees (EOC), the regional association for such committees. The EOC represents European nations and several transcontinental countries. An EOC Refugee team is also included. The Games were envisioned and are governed by the EOC which announced their launch at its 41st General Assembly in Rome, on 8 December 2012.[1]

The European Games are the 5th continental Games in the Olympic tradition to be initiated, after the Asian Games, Pan American Games, Pacific Games and African Games. Therefore, as of 2015, every sporting continent[2] has continental games in the Olympic tradition.[3]

The European Games are not related to the European Championships, a separate multi-sport event organised by individual European sports federations, bringing together the individual European Championships of sports such as athletics, swimming, artistic gymnastics, cycling, rowing, golf, and triathlon under a single 'brand' on a four-year cycle beginning in 2018, and broadcast by agreement with the EBU.[4]

The European Games are also the third event created and organised by the EOC. The European Youth Olympic Festivals, both winter and summer, and broadly mirroring the Youth Olympic Games are organised biennially, while the quadrennial Games of the Small States of Europe (not to be confused with the separate Island Games) provide competition opportunities for the handful of microstates in the European continent. As of 2024 there are no EOC endorsed European Winter Games.
