2025 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship |
The UEFA European Women's Under-19 Championship or simply UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship, is an annual competition in women's football for European national teams of players under 19 years of age. National under-19 teams whose countries belong to the European governing body UEFA can register to enter the competition.
In odd years the tournament is also a FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup qualifying competition. The tournament began in the 1997–98 season as an under-18 event and became an under-19s event from the 2001–02 season. The Championship has three phases: two qualifying rounds open to all eligible nations and the finals phase which is composed of 8 qualified teams. The finals themselves are composed of two groups of four teams; each team plays the others in the group. The winner of each group after the 3 matches plays the runner-up of the opposing group in a semi-final, with the winner contesting the final.
Finals format
Since 2002 the finals had eight teams with two groups of four teams, semi-finals and the final.

Notes
- Belarus were originally appointed as hosts of the 2025 tournament, but were stripped of their hosting rights on 4 April 2023 due to their country's involvement in the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
