The 2026 European Women's Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Zagreb, Croatia, involve competition across both junior and senior categories.

Initially, the Finnish women's national team entered the competition with the goal of finishing among the top 13 countries to secure a full five-person squad for the World Championships. If the team failed to reach that rank, individual qualification remained a possibility for up to two athletes per country.

As the championships progressed, various individual and team results emerged. In the junior category, Romania's Aniela Tudor won gold in vault with an average score of 13.383, finishing ahead of Daria Mironova and Lilou Marliac. The Romanian senior women's team successfully secured qualification for the upcoming World Championships by finishing 11th in qualifications.

In the senior apparatus finals, notable performances included gold medals for Elena Colas of France on the balance beam and Manila Esposito of Italy on the floor exercise. Esposito also earned silver on the balance beam. Other Italian medalists included Elisa Iorio and Giulia Perotti, who secured silver and bronze respectively on the uneven bars. Additional gold medalists included Angelina Melnikova on the vault and Helen Kevric on the uneven bars. The event features approximately 700 gymnasts from 41 nations.
