The 2024–25 European Aquatics Women's Euro Cup is the 26th edition of Europe's secondary club water polo competition organised by the European Aquatics. Antenore Plebiscito Padova are the reigning champions although they will not defend their title after qualifying for the Main round of the Champions League.

ZV De Zaan won their first title after defeating Pallanuoto Trieste in the final, becoming the first Dutch team to win the Euro Cup.[1][2][3]
