The OFC U-19 Women's Championship (previously the OFC U-20 Women's Championship or OFC Women's Under 20 Qualifying Tournament) is a football tournament held every two years to decide the only qualification spot for the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) representative at the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.[1]

Until 2006 it was an under-19 tournament. The most recent edition for 1 to 15 July 2017 was again an U-19 tournament,[2] and the tournament was called the OFC U-19 Women's Championship.
