2015 European Rally Championship
Previous:	2014	Next:	2016

The 2015 European Rally Championship season is the 63rd season of the FIA European Rally Championship, the European continental championship series in rallying. The season is also the third following the merge between the European Rally Championship and the Intercontinental Rally Challenge.

For this year the drivers have to register for the championship, and the categories have been renamed into ERC 1 (for S2000, R5 and RRC (last year) cars), ERC 2 (category for R4 production cars, previously titled N4) and ERC 3 (for R1, R2 and R3 cars).
