The 2019 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship (also known as UEFA Women's Under-19 Euro 2019) was the 18th edition of the UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship (22nd edition if the Under-18 era is included), the annual international youth football championship organised by UEFA for the women's under-19 national teams of Europe. Scotland, which were selected by UEFA on 9 December 2016, was the host of the tournament,[1] which took place from 16 to 28 July 2019.[2]
A total of eight teams played in the tournament, with players born on or after 1 January 2000 eligible to participate. Starting from this season, up to five substitutions are permitted per team in each match.[3]
Similar to the previous editions held in odd-numbered years, the tournament acted as the UEFA qualifiers for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup. The top four teams 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 UEFA representatives.[4] However, FIFA announced on 17 November 2020 that this edition of the World Cup would be cancelled.[5]
France defeated Germany 2–1 in the final to claim its fifth title. Spain were the defending champions, but lost 1–3 to France in the semi-finals after extra-time.[6]
