The 2015 European Ladies' Team Championship took place 7–11 July at Helsingør Golf Club in Helsingør, Denmark. It was the 32nd women's golf amateur European Ladies' Team Championship.

The hosting club was founded in 1927 and the course, located 2 kilometres north-east of the city center of Helsingør, in the north-east corner of the island Zealand, Denmark, has been designed by Anders Amilion, John Harris and Anders Sørensen.[1][2]

The first placed team was drawn to play the quarter-final against the eight placed team, the second against the seventh, the third against the sixth and the fourth against the fifth. In each match between two nation teams, two 18-hole foursome games and five 18-hole single games were played. Teams were allowed to switch players during the team matches, selecting other players in to the afternoon single games after the morning foursome games. Teams knocked out after the quarter-finals played one foursome game and four single games in each of their remaining matches. Games all square after 18 holes were declared halved, if the team match was already decided.
