The 2016 European Women's Artistic Gymnastics Championships was held from June 1 to 5 2016, at the PostFinance-Arena in Bern, Switzerland. It was the first time the city had hosted a major female international competition (it hosted the 1975 Men's European Gymnastics Championships), and was the first time Switzerland hosted the competition in the country.
The competition will be held at the PostFinance-Arena. Formerly the Bern Arena, it houses the home games of National League A ice hockey team SC Bern. Built in 1967, the arena has a capacity of just over 17,000 spectators – this makes it one of the largest arenas to host the competition.
