The 2019 OFC U-19 Women's Championship was the 9th edition of the OFC U-19/U-20 Women's Championship, the biennial international youth football championship organised by the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) for the women's under-19/under-20 national teams of Oceania. The tournament was held in the Cook Islands from 30 August to 12 September 2019.[1][2]

The winner of the tournament would have qualified for the 2021 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup (originally 2020 but postponed due to COVID-19 pandemic) in Costa Rica as the OFC representatives.[3] However, FIFA announced on 17 November 2020 that this edition of the World Cup would be cancelled.[4]

New Zealand were the defending champions, and they went on to win the 2019 Championship.
