The World Lacrosse Women's U20 Championship, formerly known as the World Lacrosse Women's U19 Championship, are held every four years to award world championships for the under-20 age group in women's lacrosse. The tournaments are sanctioned by World Lacrosse.
History
The championships were first held for women in 1995. The 2015 games were held in Edinburgh, Scotland. The Haudenosaunee Nationals women's lacrosse team could not participate due to British passport requirements. Canada won its first gold medal, defeating the United States 9–8 in the final.
The 2019 games saw the United States decisively beat Canada 13–3 in Peterborough, Canada.
The next tournament is planned to be held as an under-20 event in 2024 in Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
