Spain were crowned champions having won both the Lisbon and Moscow legs.[2] England, France, Ireland, and Wales did not field teams for this tournament due to the postponement of the 2020 Summer Olympics which took place from 26 July to 31 July 2021 - where Great Britain (encompassing England and Wales) and Ireland participated - as well as national COVID restrictions in France.

As a penalty for competing in the Olympic tournament instead of this tournament, England, Ireland, and Wales were all relegated to the 2022 Trophy competition.[3]
