History

The competition was created in 2004, at the same time as the similar competition for men's hockey teams. The first winner was the Swedish club AIK IF. This Swedish club team then won the following three tournaments. From 2009 onward, the IIHF European Women's Champions Cup was won by Russian women's teams, with the exception of the tournament in 2010–2011, which was won by a club team from Finland, Ilves Tampere.
