The 2024–25 European Aquatics Women's Euro Cup is the 26th edition of Europe's secondary club water polo competition organised by the European Aquatics. Antenore Plebiscito Padova are the reigning champions although they will not defend their title after qualifying for the Main round of the Champions League.
ZV De Zaan won their first title after defeating Pallanuoto Trieste in the final, becoming the first Dutch team to win the Euro Cup.
Format The fourteen teams that failed to make the Women's Champions League group stage go into three round robin groups of four and five. The groups are held at a centralised venue. The top teams in each group qualify for the knockout stage, which include the Quarterfinals, Semifinals and final to decide the winners of the European Aquatics Women's Euro Cup.
