Holders Ireland will host the 2008 ICC European Division 1 Championship.

Ireland claimed the 2006 championship and other countries who will compete next year include Scotland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Italy and Norway.

The 2002 European Championship was hosted by Ireland when an ECB XI claimed the title.
