In 2005, the
International Korfball Federation named the trophy for the European Bowl championship after
Jan Hanekroot, one of its longest serving development officers and promoters, who died earlier that year. The tournament was last held in 2013, when the
International Korfball Federation decided to create a new system which will be in force from 2018, reducing the number of teams taking part in the
European Korfball Championship from 16 to 8 but splitting the championship up in two levels with a relegation/promotion system to be carried out between the so-called "A-Championships" (the current European Korfball Championship) and the "B-Championships". The European Bowl therefore ceases to exist and will be replaced by the "B-Championships", to be first held in
2018. ==Results==
