2001 FIRA Women's European Championship

The sixth tournament featured 12 countries and was the first divided into two pools - A and B, with the strongest eight sides in the former. The tournament was also for the first time spread around several grounds in a region, rather than being played at one location. The A Pool was won by Scotland, and the B pool by Sweden.

Both France and England were represented by their second string "A" teams.
