The finalists of the competition, Great Britain and Sweden, won the two European qualification slots for the wheelchair rugby tournament at the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio.[2]
Eight teams contested the 2015 IWRF European Championship. The preliminary rounds consisted of a group stage where the teams were split into two leagues which were contested as a round-robin. The winner of group A then faced the second placed team from Group B and the winner of group B faced the second placed team from group A in elimination matches to determine the two finalists. The eventual winners, Great Britain, finished the competition unbeaten.[3]
