Reigning European champions and 2023 World Cup runners-up England were drawn alongside France, the Netherlands and debutantes Wales in a challenging Group D at the tournament, which runs from July 2 to 27.
The Netherlands won the tournament on home soil in 2017 under current England boss Sarina Wiegman.
Dutchwoman Wiegman will take on her native country on July 9, before England conclude their group-stage campaign against Wales.
"We're neighbours, so there's a rivalry on the pitch, which is good," Wiegman told the BBC on her team's clash with Wales, who are making their bow at a major international tournament.
"I expect them to get everything out of themselves that they have in them and fight for every yard in the game and enjoy it."
France, beaten semi-finalists in the last edition of the Euro and quarter-finalists at the 2023 World Cup, have never won a major women's tournament.
