The 2009 European Cup Winter Throwing was held on 14 and 15 March at the Estadio de Los Realejos in Tenerife, Spain.

[1] On the first day of competition, Anita Włodarczyk had a world-leading and personal best mark of 75.05 metres to win the women's hammer throw.

Nicoleta Grasu was dominant in the women's discus, while Lajos Kürthy edged the host's Manuel Martínez in the men's shot put by six centimetres (both reached the 20-metre mark).

[3] In the men's hammer, a close contest between Krisztián Pars and Marco Lingua resulted in the season's first throw over eighty metres, with Pars taking the win with 80.38 m. Nadzeya Astapchuk also had a duel against Anca Heltne in the women's shot put – in spite of being in comparatively poor form Astapchuk still won by a margin of four centimetres.

Three "B" group competitors reached the top three of their events: Markus Münch, Vera Begić and Ásdís Hjálmsdóttir.
