The 1979 European Ladies' Team Championship took place 4–8 July at Hermitage Golf Club in Lucan, Dublin, Republic of Ireland.

It was the eleventh women's golf amateur European Ladies' Team Championship.

The hosting club was founded in 1905 and the course, a mature parkland setting, situated 12 kilometers west of the city center of Dublin, was designed by James McKenna.

Individual leader in the opening 36-hole stroke-play qualifying competition was Marta Figueras-Dotti, Spain, with a score of 3-under-par 143, three strokes ahead of Julia Greenhalgh, England.

With their third place, France had finished on the podium in all eleven European Ladies' Team Championships played since its inauguration in 1959.
