It was held in Croatia and Hungary from 1 to 11 August 2023.[1]
This is the first edition with under-19 national teams after FIVB decided, in March 2022, to move the age category of the girls' championship from U18 to U19 in order to align it with the Boys' U19 World Championship. Athletes should be born on or after 1 January 2005.[2][3] At same time, FIVB disqualified Belarus and Russia who would been defending champion from future official events due to Russo-Ukrainian War.
