The first European Championships under the auspices of ECA in Olympic disciplines was the 1996 ECA Canoe Slalom European Championships in Augsburg, while the first ECA Canoe Sprint European Championships was organised in 1997 in Plovdiv. Murcia and Rome welcomed European Championships in Canoe Marathon and Canoe Polo already in 1995, while the first Wildwater Canoeing European Championships took place in 1997. Dragon Boat, Canoe Freestyle, Paracanoeing and Ocean Racing European Championships have also been organised in the following years.

 

At the moment 44 National Federations are members of ECA and nearly 100 official senior European Championships in nine disciplines have been organised since 1993.
