The European Box Lacrosse Championship (EBLC) is the international men's box lacrosse championship organized by the Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) and European Lacrosse Federation (ELF) that occurs every four years.[1]

The EBLC had its first championship event in Turku, Finland between July 8 – 15, 2017 and had 14 participating nations, competing for the EBLC 2017 Gold medal at two arenas – Gatorade Center and the Marlie Areena.[2]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the EBLC 2021 was delayed to the following year. It was held between July 30 – August 6, 2022 in Hanover, Germany. Official sources preferred using the german way of spelling Hanover as "Hannover".
