The European Throwing Cup (known as European Cup Winter Throwing until 2015) is an annual continental athletics competition for athletes specialising in the events of discus, javelin and hammer throwing and the shot put. The winter event, organised every March by the European Athletics Association, is intended as a counterbalance to the fact that indoor track and field meetings cannot host the longer throwing events. It allows athletes who specialise in throwing events to gauge their form for the forthcoming outdoor athletics season.Final entries confirmed for European Cup Winter Throwing .

Nadzeya Astapchuk set a record of 20.29 m for the women's shot put in 2012, but this was later annulled following retesting of her doping violation as she tested positive for steroids at the 2005 World Championships in Athletics and again at the 2012 Olympic Games.
