The 2015 ICC Europe Division One was a cricket tournament held in Jersey from 9–13 May 2015. The tournament was organised by ICC Europe, and featured the top six associate members in that region – Denmark, France, Guernsey, Italy, Jersey, and Norway. Ireland, the Netherlands, and Scotland had already qualified for the World Twenty20 Qualifier, while England qualify for the World Twenty20 automatically.

The host, Jersey, won the tournament on net run rate from Denmark, its first title. The leading runscorer at the tournament was Danish batsman Freddie Klokker, while the leading wickettaker was Italian bowler Carl Sandri. By winning the tournament, Jersey qualified for the 2015 World Twenty20 Qualifier in Ireland and Scotland. The top six teams at that tournament, where matches will have full Twenty20 status, will qualify for the 2016 ICC World Twenty20 in India.

Squads for the tournament were announced on 27 April 2015.

Jersey's preparation for the tournament consisted of three twenty-over fixtures against Dutch teams, all played at the VRA Ground in Amstelveen in late April. They defeated a Netherlands A side by 62 runs, and then played matches against the two Dutch sides in the North Sea Pro Series, defeating the Hurricanes by 68 runs and losing to the Seafarers by seven wickets. Similarly, France's preparation included twenty-over fixtures against the Hurricanes and the Seafarers, both played on 2 May at Sportpark Maarschalkerweerd, Utrecht. They defeated the Hurricanes by 14 runs, and lost to the Seafarers in a super over, necessitated after an initial tie.
