The 2024 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship qualifying competition is a women's under-19 football competition that will determine the seven teams joining the automatically qualified hosts Lithuania in the final tournament.
51 teams, including hosts Lithuania, will enter the qualifying competition. Players born on or after 1 January 2005 are eligible to participate.
Luxembourg will make their debut at the competition.
In the 2022 season, UEFA implemented a new format for the women's U17 and U19 Euros, based on a league-style qualifying format.
The teams are divided in two leagues: League A (28 teams) and League B (23 teams).
Each league will play two rounds:
In Round 1 and Round 2, teams are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss), and if tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria are applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings (Regulations Articles 19.01 and 19.02):
To determine the five best third-placed teams from the qualifying round, the results against the teams in fourth place are discarded. The following criteria are applied (Regulations Article 15.01):
The draw for the qualifying round was held on 16 June 2023, at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.
The teams were seeded according to their final group standings of the 2022–23 competition (Regulations Article 13.01).
Each group contained one team from Pot A, one team from Pot B, one team from Pot C, and one team from Pot D. For political reasons, Armenia and Azerbaijan and Bosnia & Herzegovina and Kosovo would not be drawn in the same group.
To determine the 2022–23 Round 2 league rankings, the following criteria was followed:
Hosts will be appointed for each mini-tournament. All the matches will be played between 24 October and 5 December 2023.
The matches in group A4 were originally planned for 25, 28 and 31 October 2023. Because of the safety concerns in light of the October 2023 Gaza−Israel conflict, matches have been postponed to 29 November, 2 and 5 December.
The group matches were hosted by Albania.
To determine the best runner-up, only the results of the runner-up teams against the first and third-placed teams in their group are taken into account.
The teams were seeded according to their results in the Round 1 (Regulations Article 15.01).
The 21 teams of Round 1 League A and the 7 teams of Round 1 League B (six group winners and the best runner-up) were drawn in seven groups of four teams. The draw for both leagues was held on 8 December 2023 at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.
All group winners and the best runner-up of League B were automatically seeded into Pot D. Because League B has two groups with only 3 teams, the results of the group winners against the respective fourth-placed teams are disregarded for their ranking.
The six best fourth-placed teams in League A were automatically seeded into Pot A, with the worst fourth-placed team being seeded into Pot B. The remaining second-, third- and fourth-placed teams from League B were seeded into Pots B, C and D, respectively.
As before, because League B has two groups with only 3 teams, the results against fourth-placed teams in Round 1 are disregarded for the ranking of teams placed second and third in League B Round 1.
Times are CET/CEST, as listed by UEFA (local times, if different, are in parentheses).
To determine the best runner-up, only the results of the runner-up teams against the first and third-placed teams in their group are taken into account.
Seven teams will qualify for the final tournament along with hosts Lithuania.
In the qualifying round there were 317 goals scored in 72 matches, for an average of 4.4 goals per match.
