CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship

The CONCACAF Women's Under-20 tournament is a football (soccer) competition for women's national teams under 20 years in North America, Central America and Caribbean region, and is the qualification tournament for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.

Originally contested as an under-19 event in conjunction with FIFA's standards in 2002 and 2004, the CONCACAF U-20 Women's Championship is staged every two years with three teams qualifying for the biennial World Cup, except in 2002 where only the group stage was played and the two first-place finishers qualified directly to the youth world cup.

CONCACAF's championship is an eight-team event with the three nations from North America, joined by three from the Caribbean and two from Central America.
