    The purpose of this paper is the determination of vector-valued distributions on Euclidean Jordan algebras. Let \(V\) be a Euclidean Jordan algebra of rank \(r\) and dimension \(n\) and let \(G\) be the structure group of \(V\). Let \((n,L_\pi)\) be a finite-dimensional irreducible representation of \(G\). An \(L_\pi\)-valued distribution \(T\) on \(V\) is called \(G\)-homogeneous of degree \(s\in\mathbb{C}\) if \(\langle T,\phi_g\rangle = (\text{Det}g)^{(rs/n)+1}\pi(g)\langle T,\phi\rangle\) for all test functions \(\phi\) on \(V\). Here, \(\phi_g =\phi(g^{-1}x)\) with \(g\in G\). We denote by \({\mathcal H}^s_\pi\) the space of \(L_\phi\)-valued \(G\)-homogeneous distributions of degree \(s\in \mathbb{C}\). We also denote by \({\mathcal I}_\pi\) the space of \(L_\pi\)-valued \(G^1\)-invariant distributions, i.e., \(\langle T,\phi_g\rangle = \pi(g)\langle T,\phi\rangle\) for all \(g\in G^1 := \{g\in G \mid \text{Det\,}g = 1\}\). Then it is proved that the space \({\mathcal H}^s_\pi\) (or \({\mathcal I}_\pi)\) is not \(\{0\}\) if and only if the representaion \(\pi\) is spherical. In addition, it is shown that the dimension of \({\mathcal H}^s_\pi\) is \(r + 1\). The author also constructs \(G\)-homogeneous distributions by using the Laurent expansion coefficients of the distributions with a meromorphic parameter \(s\in\mathbb{C}\).
