The 1981 European Cup Final in Athletics All-around 1981 was held August 29-30 at the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham , United Kingdom . The men's and women's teams, previously selected by the results of three semifinals, fought for the team victory.

Since 1981, the heptathlon has come to replace the pentathlon in women's competitions. The European Cup was the first official international tournament where this innovation was tested.

Each team was represented by four athletes. In total, 52 all-rounders (28 men and 24 women) from 8 countries took to the start. The best teams in the team standings were determined by the sum of the results of the three best participants.
