The 1969 European Competition for Women's Football was a women's association football tournament contested by European nations. It took place in Italy from 1 to 2 November 1969,[1][2] and was organised by the FICF (Federazione Italiana Calcio Femminile).[1]

The tournament featured 4 teams, with games staged in Novara, Aosta and Turin. Considered unofficial because it was not run under the auspices of UEFA, it was a precursor to the UEFA Women's Championship. Italy won the tournament, beating Denmark 3–1 in the final.[1]
