Notes edit
- The 1963 world championships were designated that year's European championships.
- The ECA chose not to organise the 2019 championships because of the European Games,[2] so a separate Paracanoe European Championships were held as a result.
- The 2020 championships were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Paracanoe added to the 2010 championships, then subsequent championships from 2013 onwards: http://www.europecanoeevents.com/events/results
