The AFC U-20 Women's Asian Cup is an association football tournament for women's national teams under the age of 20, organized by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). It is organised by the Asian Football Confederation every two years, and serves as a qualifying competition for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup. It was first played in 2002 as the AFC U-19 Women's Championship with an upper age limit of 19. Starting from the 2022 edition, the age limit was raised to 20.[1] Moreover, the tournament will also be rebranded from the "AFC U-19 Women's Championship" to the "AFC U-20 Women's Asian Cup".[2]

The current champion is Japan, which won the 2019 final 2–1 against North Korea. Japan is also the most successful team in the tournament, having won six times.

Format

In 2002 and 2004 no qualifying round was played, with all teams directly participating in the group stage. Qualifying rounds were introduced starting from the 2006 edition, with eight teams qualifying to the final tournament. The eight teams were divided into two groups of four, with the top two teams qualifying to the semi-finals. In 2011 and 2013 the teams were reduced to six, which all played a single round-robin tournament. From 2015 onwards, the pre-2011 format was recovered.
