The French International Boys Championship, known as the Internationaux de France U18 - Trophee Carlhian, is an annual amateur golf tournament for men under 18 held in France.
The tournament was first played at Golf de Chantilly in 1926, and moved to Golf de Saint-Cloud in 1927. The competition has been played at many golf courses throughout France and has frequented several golf courses on more than one occasion. The trophy is named after French golfer (1911–1977).
From 1926 to 1950, the event was played in stroke play format. In 1951, it took its current form of a two-round stroke play qualification followed by a final match play bracket.
The championship did not take place 1940–1946, 1982, 1984 and in 2020. It is one of nine qualification events for the European team in the Junior Ryder Cup.
