The 2025 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship qualification was an under-19 women's national football team competition that determined the seven teams that would join the automatically qualified host team Poland in the 2025 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship final tournament.
Three national teams decided not to participate in the event and Russia were excluded from the tournament due to the ongoing invasion of Ukraine. Therefore, including hosts Poland, 51 teams entered this qualifying competition. The Round 1 of the qualification was played from 26 November to 3 December 2024, while the Round 2 was played from 18 February to 8 April 2025. Players born on or after 1 January 2006 were eligible to participate.
The qualification consisted of two rounds, both with teams playing in two tiered leagues. Each round league consisted of several groups, which were played as single-round-robin mini-tournaments, with one team from each group selected as the host after the draw.
- Round 1:
- League A: 28 teams were drawn into seven groups of four. The top three teams from each group were transferred to Round 2 League A; teams that finished fourth were relegated to Round 2 League B.
- League B: 23 teams were drawn into six groups of three or four. The group winners and the best runner-up team were promoted to Round 2 League A; the other teams were transferred to Round 2 League B.
- Round 2:
- League A: 28 teams were drawn into seven groups of four. The group winners qualified for the final tournament. Since Poland, as the host of the final tournament, won one of these groups, the best runner-up team also qualified. Teams that finished fourth were relegated to Round 1 League B for the next season.
- League B: 23 teams were drawn into six groups of three or four. The group winners and the best runner-up team were promoted to Round 1 League A for the next season.
Tiebreakers
In a group, teams are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss), and if tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria are applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings (Regulations Articles 17.01 and 17.02):[1]
- Points in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
- Goal difference in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
- Goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
- If more than two teams are tied, and after applying all head-to-head criteria above, a subset of teams are still tied, all head-to-head criteria above are reapplied exclusively to this subset of teams;
- Goal difference in all group matches;
- Goals scored in all group matches;
- Penalty shoot-out if only two teams have the same number of points, and they met in the last round of the group and are tied after applying all criteria above (not used if more than two teams have the same number of points, or if their rankings are not relevant for qualification for the next stage);
- Disciplinary points (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3 points);
- Position in the applicable ranking:
- for teams in Round 1, position in the 2023–24 Round 2 league rankings;
- for teams in Round 2, position in the Round 1 league ranking.
To determine the best runner-up team in League B, the results against the teams in fourth place are discarded and the following criteria are applied (Regulations Articles 18.01 and 18.03):[2]
- Points;
- Goal difference;
- Goals scored;
- Disciplinary points;
- Position in the applicable ranking:
- for teams in Round 1, position in the 2023–24 Round 2 league rankings;
- for teams in Round 2, position in the Round 1 league rankings.

Within each League, the teams were allocated to four drawing pots (seven teams per pot in League A, six teams in Pots 1 to 3 and five teams in Pot 4 in League B). Teams in the same pot would be drawn into different groups, with League A consisting of seven groups of four teams, and League B consisting of five groups of four and one group of three teams.
As decided by the UEFA Executive Committee and the UEFA Emergency Panel, the following pairs of teams could not be drawn into the same group: Serbia and Kosovo (League A), Armenia and Azerbaijan (League B).[3]

The Round 2 League A group winners were automatically seeded into Pot 1, the second- and third-placed teams into Pots 2 and 3, respectively. The previous season's Round 2 League B teams were seeded into Pot 4; their matches against the fourth-placed teams in their group did not count towards this ranking (Regulations Article 13.02).[4]
