Beth Mead is on the list of all-time top scorers in Women’s Euros history, and she could move into top spot at this summer’s Euro 2025 championship in Switzerland.

The Arsenal striker scored six goals to help England lift the trophy at Euro 2022.

She has a realistic chance of making the top spot if the Lionesses make a deep run at Euro 2025, which begins on July 2nd.

Former Lioness Jodie Taylor is one of eight players to have scored five goals at the UEFA European Women’s Championship.

Below, we take a look at the eight players who are among the all-time top scorers at the Women’s Euros by netting six goals or more.

All-time top scorers at the Women’s Euros

Hannah Ljungberg (Sweden), Beth Mead (England), and Alexandra Popp (Germany) – Six goals

Beth Mead is the highest active player on the list of all-time top scorers at the Women’s Euros.

The Arsenal striker scored six goals to help the Lionesses win the European Championship for the first time in 2022.

Mead was selected in Sarina Wiegman’s 23-player squad for Women’s Euro 2025. Should she net four goals at the tournament, then it would put her joint top of this list.

Mead’s six goals at Euro 2022 were matched by Germany’s Alexandra Popp who hit the same total in 2022.

Popp scored 67 goals in 145 caps for Germany across her 14-year senior international career. However, her only goals at the Euros came in 2022, and she will not be able to add to that total after retiring from international football last October.

They are joined on six goals by Hannah Ljungberg. The Swede scored her first Euros goal in 1997 and added two more in 2001.

Her best performance came in England in 2005, when she netted three goals, including two in her country’s 3-2 semi-final defeat to Norway.

Heidi Mohr (Germany), Carolina Morace (Italy), and Lottie Schelin (Sweden) – Eight goals

Germany forward Heidi Mohr was the first player to ever score eight goals in the Women’s Euros.

Mohr, who was voted as Europe’s Women’s Footballer of the Century in 1999, scored her goals over four tournaments from 1989 to 1995.

Her best tournament was in 1991 when she netted four times, including two in a 3-1 victory over Norway in the final.

Italy’s Carolina Morace scored two goals in the very first Women’s Euros in 1984 – then known as the European Competition for Women’s Football.

She scored one goal in 1987 and 1993, and failed to score in 1989, 1991, and 1995 – with Italy failing to qualify for the latter.

Then in 1997 at the age of 33, she scored four goals to help Italy reach the final. Morace and Italy lost in the final, and the former forward is now a member of the European Parliament.

The third player on eight goals is Sweden’s Lottie Schelin, who played at four tournaments between 2005 and 2017.

At her home Euros in Sweden in 2013, Schelin scored five goals to help her country reach the semi-finals, where they lost to Germany.

Inka Grings (Germany) and Birgit Prinz (Germany) – 10 goals

Germany has dominated the Women’s Euros since the tournament was first run in 1984. Therefore, it’s unsurprising that the two top scorers in the tournament’s history are both from Germany.

The Women’s Euros has been won by Germany in eight of the 13 times that the competition has been held. That includes six straight wins from 1995 to 2013.

Legendary German striker Birgit Prinz was part of the winning squad on five occasions in that timeframe.

She never scored more than three goals at a single Women’s Euros. However, she was a consistent scorer, netting at least one goal in each of the five tournaments between 1995 and 2009.

Inka Grings was only part of Germany’s successes in 2005 and 2009 but netted 10 goals across those two tournaments.

After scoring four goals in England in 2005, she added six in Sweden four years later.
