The '''FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup''' is an international [[association football]] tournament, organized by [[FIFA]] (Fédération Internationale de Football Association), for national teams of women under the age of 20. The tournament is held in even-numbered years. It was first held in [[2002 FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship|2002]] as the '''FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship''' with an upper age limit of 19. In [[2006 FIFA U-20 Women's World Championship|2006]], the age limit was raised to the current 20. The event was renamed as a World Cup since the [[2008 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup|2008]] competition, making its name consistent with FIFA's other worldwide competitions for national teams.

Starting with the [[2010 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup|2010]] edition, tournaments held in years immediately preceding the [[FIFA Women's World Cup]] are awarded as part of the bidding process for the Women's World Cup. In those years, the U-20 Women's World Cup serves as a test event for the host nation of the Women's World Cup, a role similar to that of the former [[FIFA Confederations Cup]] in the men's game.

The current champions are [[North Korea women's national under-20 football team|North Korea]], who won their third title at the [[2024 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup|2024 tournament]] in Colombia.

==History==
The first women's world championship at the youth level, held as the [[2002 FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship]], with an age limit of 19, was hosted by Canada. The final, held at [[Commonwealth Stadium (Edmonton)|Commonwealth Stadium]] in [[Edmonton, Alberta|Edmonton]], drew a surprisingly large crowd of 47,000 to watch [[Canada women's national under-20 soccer team|the hosts]] play the [[United States women's national under-20 soccer team|United States]]. The US defeated Canada 1–0 on a [[golden goal]] by [[Lindsay Tarpley]]. Canada's [[Christine Sinclair]] was the adidas Golden Ball recipient, as tournament [[Most valuable player|MVP]], and the [[Women's World Cup Golden Boot|Golden Shoe]] (10 goals) winner.
The [[2004 FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship]] was held in [[Thailand]]. For the second time in a row, the current holders of the [[FIFA Women's World Cup|senior World Cup]], [[Germany women's national under-20 football team|Germany]], won the youth competition. The Golden Ball went to Brazilian star, [[Marta (footballer)|Marta]], while for the second time the Golden Boot went to a Canadian, [[Brittany Timko]].
In 2006, FIFA raised the women's youth championship age limit to 20 to match the men's, beginning with the [[2006 FIFA U-20 Women's World Championship]], held in [[Russia]] from 17 August through 3 September. The competition was held in four Moscow stadiums ([[FC Dynamo Moscow|Dinamo]], [[Lokomotiv Stadium (Moscow)|Lokomotiv]], Podmoskovie Stadium and [[Eduard Streltsov Stadium|Torpedo Stadion]]) and one in St. Petersburg ([[Petrovsky Stadium|Petrovskiy Stadion]]).
[[North Korea women's national under-20 football team|Korea DPR]] won the final 5–0 over [[China women's national under-20 football team|China PR]].
The [[2008 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup|2008 FIFA U-20 Women's World Championship]] was held in [[Chile]], from 20 November to 7 December 2008.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.fifa.com/u20womenworldcup/index.html |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20071116142115/http://www.fifa.com/u20womenworldcup/index.html |url-status= dead |archive-date= 16 November 2007 |title=FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup Chile 2008 |publisher=FIFA |access-date=26 November 2007}}</ref>
Six years after winning their first championship at the youth level in 2002, the [[United States women's national under-20 soccer team|United States]] reclaimed the trophy with a 2–1 win over defending champions [[Korea DPR women's national football team|Korea DPR]]. The Golden Ball and the Golden Shoe went to [[Sydney Leroux]] of the [[United States women's national under-20 soccer team|United States]].
The [[2010 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup|2010 edition of the tournament]] was held in Germany from 13 July to 1 August 2010.  The host nation defeated [[Nigeria]] in the final to claim its second championship.  It was the first time that an African nation had advanced as far as the semifinals.  It was also the first tournament in which four different confederations were represented in the semifinals.  The Golden Ball and Golden Shoe awards both went to [[Alexandra Popp]] of Germany.

The [[2012 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup]] was played in Japan from 19 August to 8 September,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/competition/01/60/84/86/fu20wwc2012_matchschedule_30072012.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130331193606/http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/competition/01/60/84/86/fu20wwc2012%5fmatchschedule%5f30072012.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=31 March 2013|title=Match Schedule FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup Japan 2012|publisher=FIFA.com|date=30 July 2012}}</ref> after initially having a hosting bid from Vietnam withdrawn and a bid from Uzbekistan rejected.

The [[2014 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup]] was held in Canada from 5–25 August 2014, who reprised its role as host after a Zimbabwean bid withdrew leaving the Canadian bid unopposed. The Golden Ball and Golden Shoe awards both went to [[Asisat Oshoala]] of Nigeria.

The [[2016 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup]] was expected to be held in South Africa, but due to the country's withdrawal, a new host was chosen on 19 March 2015, and it was Papua New Guinea.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.radionz.co.nz/international/pacific-news/257405/sport-png-football-wants-to-host-u20-womens-world-cup |title=Sport: PNG Football wants to host U20 Women's World Cup |publisher=Radio New Zealand International |access-date=26 October 2014}}</ref>

The [[2021 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup|2020 edition]] was initially to be hosted jointly by Costa Rica and Panama in August 2020. Due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] it has been postponed to January 2021, to be solely hosted by Costa Rica.
