The 2018 Rugby Europe Women's Championship was the 22nd edition of Rugby Europe's top division competition for women's national rugby union teams, and the tenth such tournament for which the European Championship title was awarded. The tournament was held in Belgium from 27 February to 3 March 2018 as a knockout competition, with matches played at Brussels and Waterloo. Spain won the championship to take its third European title and second in a row.

Format

The four teams, based on the world rankings at the time of issuing the tournament regulations, were assigned a seeding from 1 to 4, the highest being that of Spain and, subsequently, the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. The format was a four team semifinal bracket, with the teams seeded 1 and 2 meeting the teams seeded 4 and 3 respectively. A final for the title was played between the two winners and a match for third place was played by the defeated semifinal teams. All competitions took place at the Stade du Pachy in Waterloo except for the final held at the Petit Heysel in Brussels.
