The 2025 European 10,000m Cup will take place for the third time in the French town of Pacé where individual team and individual titles will be up for grabs in both the men's and women's races along with important ranking points to qualify for the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo. 

The European 10,000m Cup dates back to 1997 when it was held under its initial alias of the European 10,000 Metres Challenge and has been held under its current name since 2005. 

Notable names on the roll-of-honour include Spain's Jose Manuel Martinez (2004 and 2009), Great Britain's Mo Farah (2010) and Italians Daniele Meucci (2016) and Yemaneberhan Crippa (2019, 2023) on the men’s side and multiple winners Fernanda Ribeiro (1998 and 2003) and Sara Moreira (2011, 2012 and 2017) and Great Britain's former world marathon record-holder Paula Radcliffe (1999 and 2001) among the women.

At the 2023 edition of the European 10,000m Cup in Pacé, Yemaneberhan Crippa powered to his second European 10,000m Cup title and while Alina Reh upgraded her individual silver to gold in the women's race. Israel won their first ever team title in the men's race while Reh led Germany to back-to-back team titles in the women's race.

The European 10,000m Cup in 2024 was held in conjunction with the Roma 2024 European Athletics Championships where Nadia Battocletti and Dominic Lobalu won individual titles with the team titles going to Italy in the women's race and France in the men's race.
