The European Chess Club Cup is an annual chess tournament for club teams from Europe. It is organised by the European Chess Union. The competition is held with the Swiss system over seven rounds. It consists of two sections, open and women's, with each team fielding six and four players respectively at every match.

History

The tournament origins are from the former Yugoslavia, where chess club competitions were quite popular. In 1996, the women's competition was added.
