The tournament was played in three different stages. In the first stage, the sixteen participants were divided in four groups (A, B, C and D) of four teams each. A single round-robin format was played within each group to determine the teams' group position; the three best teams of each group (total of 12 teams) progressed to the second stage.

The second stage of the tournament consisted of two groups of six teams each. As the first stage match results amongst the teams which advanced to this stage also counted, the two groups had been predetermined, one group formed by groups A and C teams while the other was formed by groups B and D teams. In each of the two groups, the teams played once against every opponent they had not faced in the tournament (total of three matches each), adding that to the results obtained against the other two teams who also advanced from the first stage same group. The two group winners and two runners-up from this second stage advanced to the third stage.

The third and final stage of the tournament was composed of the semifinals, third place match and final. Each of the semifinals was played between the winner and the runner-up of the same second stage group.

The tournament was played at three venues in three cities, of which two were in Belgium and one in Luxembourg. Group stages were held in Belgium and Luxembourg hosted the final round.
