The 2022 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship qualifying competition was a women's under-19 football competition that determined the seven teams joining the automatically qualified hosts the Czech Republic in the 2022 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship final tournament.
A record 52 teams, including hosts the Czech Republic, entered the qualifying competition. Players born on or after 1 January 2003 were eligible to participate.
Format From this season, UEFA implemented a new format for the women's U17 and U19 Euros, based on a league-style qualifying format.
The teams are divided into two leagues: League A and League B. In this first season of the new system, the teams were divided using coefficient rankings.
Each league will play two rounds: Round 1: In each league, groups of 4 teams will play mini-tournaments in a single round-robin format. The six winners of each mini-tournament in league B and the best runner-up will be promoted and the seven last-placed teams in league A mini-tournaments will be relegated.
Round 2: The seven winners of League A will qualify for the final tournament. The six winners of mini-tournaments in league B and the best runner-up will be promoted and the last-placed teams in league A will be relegated for Round 1 of the next edition of the tournament.
Tiebreakers For rounds 1 and 2, teams were 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 were to be applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings (Regulations Articles 14.01 and 14.02): higher number of points obtained in the matches played among the teams in question; 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 were tied, and after applying all head-to-head criteria above, a subset of teams were still tied, all head-to-head criteria above were reapplied exclusively to this subset of teams; Goal difference in all group matches; Goals scored in all group matches; Higher position in the applicable ranking: for teams in round 1, position in the coefficient rankings; for teams in round 2, position in the round 1 league ranking.
