  1. The 2020 tournaments were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Euro B and D took place in 2021, while Euro C took place in 2022. Euro A did not take place as teams were competing in the 2021 Men's Rugby League World Cup. Expansion for 2023 meant that some teams were promoted despite not winning their competition.
  2. Between 2005 and 2021 England did not compete in the European Championship, instead favouring the Four Nations.
  3. Ukraine played in both Euro B and Euro C in 2020.
