Structure

Each edition of the Women's EuroHockey Club Trophy comprises eight teams. The teams are split into two pools of four, playing in a single round-robin format. At the conclusion of the pool stage, the top ranked teams of each pool contest the final of the tournament, while the second placed teams playoff for third; the same continues for fifth and seventh places.

Point System

Unlike the classic points system of three points for a win, one point for a draw and no points for a loss, this tournament adapts a unique points system. The point allocation for wins, draws and losses is as follows:
