The 1st European Athletics U23 Cup was held on 18–19 July 1992. The participating teams were classified in two divisions, A and B.

The competition was restricted to athletes that did not complete their 23rd birthday in 1992, i.e. born in 1970 or later (including junior athletes). This rule was interpreted differently by Bulgaria and Greece, sending also athletes born in 1969. ^[1]

Division A

The contest for division A took place in Gateshead, United Kingdom. The teams from the Commonwealth of Independent States and Poland were withdrawn. ^[1]
