Held in Catania, Italy from 24 to 29 May 2016 in tandem with the men's edition,[1] the event started with a round robin group stage. At its conclusion, the best teams progressed to the knockout stage, a series of single elimination games to determine the winners. Consolation matches were also played to determine other final rankings.

The tournament was won by Swiss team Grasshoppers who beat Germany's BeachKick Ladies Berlin in the final to win their first European title.[3]
