EURid vzw/asbl (European Registry for Internet Domains) is a non-profit organisation established on 8 April 2003 by the European Commission as the domain name registry to operate the new .eu top-level domain.

EURid is a consortium of three European ccTLD operators: DNS Belgium (.be), IIT-CNR (.it) and NIC-SE (.se). It has been established in Belgium, having its headquarters in Brussels. In October 2006, they opened their first branch office in Stockholm. Two further branch offices have been opened in Italy and the Czech Republic.

EURid uses registry software based on the DNS Belgium system. It makes use of the Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) which enables registrars to perform operations on .eu domain names directly.
