England will be aiming to repeat their 2024 success in Sweden, when they won the Euros for just the second time ever.
After missing out in the quarter-finals last time out on home soil at Slaley Hall, they are hoping to challenge again.
Wilson is among six girls selected, joining Lauren Crump (Hill Valley, Shropshire), Mia Ingham (Sunningdale, Surrey), Daisy Lee (Lancaster, Lancashire), Ellie Lichtenhein (The Buckinghamshire, Bucks) and Annabel Peaford (Walton Heath, Surrey) in the squad.
Coach John Watson said: “I’m excited about the team we have this year who have all been playing well going into the event.
“The course in Zurich is challenging with lots of elevation changes, but I believe we can go all the way again like we did in 2024.”
Wilson boasts an impressive CV over the past three years, most recently finishing runner-up at the Spanish Women’s Amateur Championship, losing out in the final by just one hole.
She also came second in the Fairhaven Trophy, having won the event last year, and helped England win the International Cup team title at the Scottish Women’s Amateur.
The golfer enjoyed an excellent 2025, finishing tied-third in the individual stroke play stages of the European Girls’ Team Championship and securing a top-five spot at the Scottish Women’s Amateur as England won the Nations Cup.
There were also top-10 finishes at the Scottish Girls’ Under-18 Championship and Comboy Scratch at Delamere Forest, as well as helping England to success in the Girls’ & Boys’ Home Internationals.
In 2024, she took fourth place at the English Girls’ Open Championship, secured top-10 at the R&A Girls’ Under-16 Amateur Championship and won the Bronte Law Junior Series event at Moor Allerton.
She also represented England in the annual under-16 match against Switzerland.
