The 1997 UEFA Women's Championship, also referred to as Women's Euro 1997 was a football tournament held in 1997 in Norway and Sweden. The UEFA Women's Championship is a regular tournament involving European national teams from countries affiliated to UEFA, the European governing body, who have qualified for the competition.{{cite web | url=https://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/news/0277-158f1dacb878-ad74f5314911-1000--uefa-women-s-euro-1997-and-now/ | title=UEFA Women's EURO – 1997 and now | date=6 July 2022 | access-date=24 August 2022 | archive-date=24 August 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220824005758/https://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/news/0277-158f1dacb878-ad74f5314911-1000--uefa-women-s-euro-1997-and-now/ | url-status=live }} The competition aims to determine which national women's team is the best in Europe.{{cite web |url=http://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/history/season=1997/index.html |title=1997: German reign goes on – |publisher=UEFA |access-date=23 August 2012 |archive-date=28 December 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171228054253/http://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/history/season=1997/index.html |url-status=dead }}
