The 2024 UEFA European Under-19 Championship (also known as UEFA Under-19 Euro 2024) was the 21st edition of the UEFA European Under-19 Championship (71st edition if the Under-18 and Junior eras are included), the annual international youth football championship organised by UEFA for the men's under-19 national teams of Europe. Northern Ireland hosted the tournament from 15 to 28 July 2024. A total of eight teams played in the tournament, with players born on or after 1 January 2005 eligible to participate.

Same as previous editions held in even-numbered years, the tournament will act as the UEFA qualifiers for the FIFA U-20 World Cup. The top five teams of the tournament will qualify for the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Chile as the UEFA representatives.

Italy were the defending champions, having beaten Portugal 1–0 in the 2023 final, but were eliminated in the semi-finals by Spain.[2][3]
