The '''women's [[scratch race]]''' at the [[UEC European Track Championships]] was first competed in [[2014 UEC European Track Championships|2014]] in [[Guadeloupe]], France.<ref>[http://www.siteducyclisme.net/wedstrijdfiche.php?wedstrijdid=35338  Palmares]</ref>

The [[scratch race]] consists of a single race over a certain length. The winner is the first to cross the line, taking into cyclists who have lapped the peloton.

One of the less controllable events on the track, the first eleven editions of the event up to 2024 produced eleven different gold medalists. No one has won the race twice as of 2024. [[Kirsten Wild]] of the Netherlands has the unique distinction of winning a medal of each colour. No other rider has more than two medals, making wild both the most successful and most decorated scratch rider in the history of the event.
