The tournament was played in three stages: Round 1, Round 2, and the Finals. Round 1 comprised sixteen national champions, sorted into four groups of four teams each; only the winner of each group progressed. Round 2 comprised eight teams in two groups of four teams each. Each group included two group winners from Round 1 and the national champions from two of the four countries represented in the Finals of the 2012–13 IIHF European Women's Champions Cup, which had received a bye for Round 1. The teams finishing in the top two positions of each group in Round 2 moved on to the Finals.
It is likely that “Best Players Selected by the Directorate” were named for each group in all three rounds, based on documents available from other EWCC tournaments, but information about the selections for 2013–14 Groups A–E is apparently lost.
