The 1973 European Ladies' Team Championship took place 5–8 July at Royal Golf Club de Belgique, 7 kilometres south-east of the city center of Brussels, Belgium. It was the eighth women's golf amateur European Ladies' Team Championship.
All participating teams, allowed to have six players, played one qualification round of stroke-play with five players, counted the four best scores for each team.
The six best teams formed flight A, in knock-out match-play over the next three days. The teams were seeded based on their positions after the stroke play. The teams place first and second were directly qualified for the semi-finals. The team placed third was drawn to play the quarter-final against the team placed sixth and the teams placed fourth and fifth met each other. In each match between two nation teams, two 18-hole foursome games and five 18-hole single games were played. Teams were allowed to switch players during the team matches, selecting other players in to the afternoon single games after the morning foursome games. Games all square after 18 holes were declared halved, if the team match was already decided.
The four teams placed 7–10 in the qualification stroke-play formed Flight B and the three teams placed 11–13 formed Flight C, to meet each other to decide their final positions.
13 nation teams contested the event. Each team consisted of a minimum of four players.
