She fired Sarina Wiegman‘s side to glory with her six goals and five assists in just six games.
Her performances on home soil have led to her being the favourite to win the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award.
The Arsenal attacker also came second for the Ballon d’Or this year being beaten by Alexis Putellas.
Mead is an inspiration to many leading the way for women’s football in England.
Who is Beth Mead’s partner Vivianne Miedema?
Mead is dating her team-mate and fellow Arsenal star Vivianne Miedema.
It was confirmed by Mead after her Euros win that she was going out with the 26-year-old Dutch striker.
The duo are both goalscorers with Miedema one of the most prolific in the Women’s Super League.
She has been at the Gunners for six seasons scoring 78 goals in 97 matches.
Miedema helped fire Arsenal to the WSL title alongside Mead in the 2018/19 season.
The ex-Bayern Munich forward is a record breaking attacker just like her partner, she is the Netherlands’ all-time leading goalscorer finding the back of the net 95 times for her nation.
She is also a European champion after winning the Euros in 2017.
Mead joked that they are the David and Victoria Beckham of women’s football, saying: “Yeah – of the lesbian world.”
Both found out they were nominated for the Ballon d’Or while on holiday together, Mead said: “I was buzzing. I was like, ‘Wow, I’m nominated for the Ballon d’Or.
“She [Miedema] said, ‘Yeah, it’s my fifth time. I’m really proud of you though’.”
Miedema requires surgery after sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament rupture.
Meanwhile, Mead is also in the treatment room with an ACL injury.
Mead was previously in a relationship with Arsenal team-mate Danielle van de Donk.
