Underneath the Championship II there exists at least one division of the EuroHockey Nations Challenge, like European Championship III. There is promotion and relegation.[1] The two first ranked teams qualify for the next EuroHockey Nations Championship and are replaced by the two lowest-ranked teams from that tournament. The teams finishing in seventh and eighth positions are relegated to the EuroHockey Championship III and replaced by the two highest-ranked from that tournament.

The tournament has been won by six different teams: Ireland and Poland have the most titles with two and the Czech Republic, France, Russia and Scotland have all won the tournament once. The most recent edition was held in Cambrai, France and was won by France. The next edition will be held in Gniezno, Poland in August 2021.[2]
