Following the announcement in December confirming Austria as the host of the 2027 Europe Triathlon Championships, Europe Triathlon can today confirm that the event will take place in Kitzbühel from 11–13 June 2027.
The three-day championship will bring together Europe’s leading triathletes in one of the sport’s most picturesque destinations, with athletes from across the continent set to compete against the stunning backdrop of the Austrian Alps.
The ceremonial handover of the Europe Triathlon flag took place on Sunday evening in Tarragona following the conclusion of the Europe Triathlon Championships.
Spain’s Jorge García officially presented the flag to Austrian Triathlon President Walter Zettinig, marking the transition to the next host nation. The handover was supported by Spanish para triathlete Eva María Moral Pedrero and Austrian para triathlete Thomas Fruehwirth.
Renowned as one of alpine skiing’s most iconic destinations, Kitzbühel is home to the legendary Hahnenkamm Race, widely regarded as one of the most prestigious events on the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup calendar.
The city previously staged a highly successful Europe Triathlon Championships in 2014 and 2017 and will be aiming to build on that legacy in 2027 and marking the third time hosting the championships.
In 2026, Kitzbühel also welcomes back the Europe Triathlon Cup this weekend from 19 - 20 June.
Europe Triathlon would also like to extend its sincere gratitude to Tarragona, for hosting the 2026 Europe Triathlon Championships this weekend. Tarragona delivered a memorable celebration of our sport, showcasing exceptional organisation, passionate local support and a vibrant championship atmosphere.
Marc D’hooge, President of Europe Triathlon, said:
“Following the success of this weekend's European Championships, we are excited to bring our flagship event to Kitzbühel in 2027. Kitzbühel combines a proven track record of delivering world-class triathlon events with a unique sporting heritage and spectacular natural setting.”
“We look forward to welcoming Europe’s finest athletes to Austria and working closely with our partners to create a memorable championship experience for everyone involved.”
”I would also like to extend my thanks to all of the staff, volunteers, officials, friends and family who made the Europe Triathlon Championships in Tarragona so successful.”
Austrian Triathlon President Walter Zettinig said:
“We are delighted to welcome, together with the Organising Committee and the city of Kitzbühel, the best athletes from across Europe once again. We are confident we will continue to deliver the high standard of event organisation for which Kitzbühel is known and invite Europe to join us for an unforgettable event in the heart of the Alps.”
The 2027 Europe Triathlon Championships are expected to attract more than 2,000 athletes, alongside coaches, officials, families and supporters from across the continent. The championship programme will feature Elite, Para Triathlon and Age Group competitions.
Further event information, competition schedules and registration details will be announced in due course.
