2019 Rink Hockey Continental Cup

The Continental Cup is a rink hockey competition which was created in 1980 under the name of the European Super Cup.

History

It was contested by the winners of the European Cup and the Cup Winners' Cup, both ruled by the Comité Européen de Rink-Hockey.

In 1997 the two competitions merged as the Champions League (now the European League) and, since then, the Continental Cup is contested by the winners of the European League and the CERS Cup / World Skate Europe Cup (2nd tier competition in Europe).

In 2017, it was approved a Final Four format between the two first qualified teams of the European League and the CERS Cup / World Skate Europe Cup.
