Denmark at the UEFA European Championship

The Denmark national football team have participated in nine UEFA European Championships (with an upcoming tenth appearance in 2024), and won the tournament once. Their first tournament was the 1964 edition, in which they secured fourth place. In the final of UEFA Euro 1992 in Sweden, Denmark's 2–0 victory over Germany resulted in their first major tournament title.
