The 2025 Rhythmic Gymnastics European Championships is the 41st edition of the Rhythmic Gymnastics European Championships. The competition is took place from 4 to 8 June 2025 at the Unibet Arena in Tallinn, Estonia.[1][2][3] It acted as a qualifying event for the 2025 Rhythmic Gymnastics World Championships; 12 countries earned quotas to send an individual team to the World Championships.[4]

The individual all-around champion was Taisiia Onofriichuk; she was the first Ukrainian European champion in almost thirty years, since the 1997 Championships.[5] The reigning European champion, Stiliana Nikolova, won silver, and the reigning Olympic champion, Darja Varfolomeev, won bronze.[6] In the apparatus finals, Nikolova won three out of four events (ball, hoop, clubs), while Varfolomeev won the ribbon final.[7][8]

In the group event, the Spanish group dominated the competition, winning all three gold medals in the all-around and both event finals.[9] The all-around medal was the second for Spanish groups after they first won a medal at the 1992 Championships. The Israeli group won the all-around silver and the Hungarian group the bronze.[10] In the five ribbons final, the French group won its first-ever European silver medal, and in the mixed apparatus final, the German group won its first European medal of any color.[11]

The Shooting Star award was presented to Slovenian Brigita Krašovec. She is heavily involved in choreographing her routines, has taught classes abroad, and is also a World champion in modern dance.[12]
