The European Junior Cup is a motorcycling series held as a support series for the European rounds of the Superbike World Championship, hence the title. It was open to riders aged between 14–19; for 2015 the upper limit was increased to 21 for males and 23 for females, who also competed for a Women's European Cup.[1]

The first season was run with Kawasaki Ninja 250R bikes,[2] before they switched to KTM 690 Duke for 2012[3] and to Honda CBR500R from 2013[4] to 2014; the 2015 bike was the Honda CBR650F.[5]
