The meet features divers from Europe, competing in events on 1-meter and 3-meter springboards and on 10-meter platform.

Diving was an integral part of the European Aquatics Championships since its introduction in 1926.

Synchronized mixed diving events on 3-meter springboard and 10-meter platform were added for the fifth edition of the Championships in Kyiv.

A country that receives the most total points during the Championships officially becomes the European diving champion.

The number of points is determined by results of all finalists, not only the medal holders.
