The European Junior Curling Challenge was an annual curling bonspiel held in the World Curling Federation's Europe zone. The challenge featured curlers under the age of 21 competing to qualify for a spot in the World Junior Curling Championships. Nations that participated were those which have not already qualified for the World Junior Championships. This event, as well as the Pacific-Asia Junior Curling Championships were replaced by the World Junior B Curling Championships in 2016. That event currently serves as the qualifier for the World Junior Curling Championships.[1]
