The European Gravel Championships (Officially:UEC Gravel European Championships) are the set of European championship events for gravel races and have been regulated by the European Cycling Union since 2023. The championships are for Elite riders. Championships are open to riders selected by their national cycling governing body and they compete in the colours of their country. As with national championships and the World Championship, the winners are entitled to wear a special champion's jersey when racing throughout the year; in the case of the European Championship, a white jersey with blue bands and yellow stars, modelled on the flag of Europe, a symbolism and design adopted by both the Council of Europe and the European Union and widely used to represent the continent in sport.
