The Australian under-20 rugby union team is Australia's junior team that plays rugby union football at international level. The team has been competing at the annual World Rugby U20 Championship since it began in 2008, replacing the previously held under-19 and under-21 championships. The team also competes at the Oceania U20 Championship as of 2015.

The team's highest finish at the World Rugby Under 20 Championship was as runner-up in 2010 after losing to New Zealand in the final.[1][2] Australia finished third in 2011 by beating France in the third place playoff,[3] and fourth in 2009 after losing to South Africa 32–5 in the third place playoff.[4]
