The 2022 IHF Women's U18 Handball World Championship was the ninth edition of the IHF Women's Youth World Championship, held from 30 July to 10 August 2022 in Skopje, North Macedonia under the aegis of the International Handball Federation (IHF).[1] Originally scheduled to be held in Tbilisi, Georgia, it was moved to North Macedonia in April 2022 due to uncertainty because of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and the safety of the tournament held in Georgia.[2]

South Korea won their first-ever title with a 31–28 win over Denmark in the final.[3]

Bidding process

[edit]

Only Georgia entered bid for hosting the tournament. The tournament was awarded to Georgia by IHF Council in its meeting held in Cairo, Egypt on 28 February 2020.
