Underneath the Championship III there exists at least one division of the EuroHockey Nations Challenge, like EuroHockey Championship IV. There is promotion and relegation.[1] The two first ranked teams qualify for the next EuroHockey Championship II and are replaced by the two lowest-ranked teams from that tournament. The teams finishing in seventh and eighth positions are relegated to the EuroHockey Championship IV and replaced by the first or two highest-ranked from that tournament.

The tournament has been won by seven different teams: Ukraine has the most titles with two and Azerbaijan, Belarus, Croatia, Russia, Switzerland and Wales have all won the tournament once. The most recent edition was held in Gibraltar and was won by Croatia. The next edition will be held in Lousada, Portugal in August 2021.[2]
