All the details of hosts, winners and top goalscorers through the years.

Euro 2024 will be the eighteenth edition of the European Championships, which began with the first-ever finals in 1960. 

That first tournament was hosted by France and won by the Soviet Union in a competition that featured just four teams. 

Since then, there have been nine different winners of the Euros, and no host nation has been victorious since France thirty years ago. 

Here's the full list of hosts, winners and top scorers in Euros history.
